Program Evaluation and Outcome Monitoring
Chestnut Global Partners' (CGP) Division of Commercial Science is devoted to helping providers deploy scientific, behavioral health assessment technologies, outcome measures and analytical methodologies so that EAPs, MBHOs, wellness companies, disease management entities, treatment agencies, and purchasers can determine the effects or worth of ongoing programs.
Approach
CGP's Division of Commercial Science takes a scientific approach to program evaluation that examines the effectiveness of interventions through empirical analysis. The preferred measure in any evaluation depends completely on your aims and unique research questions. We use measures that maximize sensitivity in order to detect positive effects, when they are in fact present.
Our staff are highly qualified to review the psychometric properties of measures and select the right measure for the job. Unlike the non-scientific evaluations that are commonplace and tied to popular measures, we focus on measures that stand the best chance of responding to changes central to your program or intervention model.
A hallmark of our approach is to fully collaborate with your organization and design and implement an evaluation project that minimally interferes with program operations.
Division of Commercial Science Staff
Our scientific staff routinely publish in peer reviewed, scientific journals and have extensive National Institutes of Health grant experience (see www.chestnut.org/li).
