This evaluation will employ a rigorous research methodology to maintain equipoise regardless of outcomes or conclusions; identify programmatic and/or service gaps that could improve the St. Matthews house (SMH) program; determine if there are changes needed with SMH process and outcomes evaluation (i.e., measurement gaps/needs, measure collection/reporting tools, etc.); identify programmatic barriers and facilitators noted by SMH leadership, staff, program candidates and/or alumni; provide materials and evidenced-based publications for the distribution and validation of the model employed by SMH and program elements; and facilitate conference presentations to share evaluation outcomes with target audiences.
