The Science of Knowing was delighted to present at the recent Australasian Evaluation Society (AES) 2017 Conference held in Canberra in September. Our Director, Victoria Visser, and Senior Research and Evaluation Officers, Sara Dixon and Marc Gehrmann, presented our methodology for a current evaluation project. The project aims to evaluate the benefits and impact of an internationally renowned suicide postvention service, the STANDBY Support After Suicide service. Our presentation focussed on how we developed multiple methodologies to manage the diverse groups involved, ensuring a rigorous and feasible design.
Several hundred delegates attended the AES Conference in 2017, with over 100 interesting and insightful presentations on the importance and value of evaluation in building effective policies and programs.
