Collaboration includes a commitment to: mutual relationships and goals; a jointly-developed structure and shared responsibility; mutual authority and accountability for success; and, sharing outcomes, resources and rewards.

Evidence-Based Practices – approaches to prevention or treatment that are based in theory and have undergone scientific evaluation as opposed to approaches that are based on tradition, convention, belief, or anecdotal evidence.

Inputs – the resources a program uses to support its activities and achieves its outcomes, including staff, volunteers, participants, facilities, supplies, resources, funding, etc.

Logic Model – a systematic and visual representation of the relationships among the resources and organization has to operate the program, the activities it plans to do and the changes or results it hopes to achieve. The logic model illustrates the program’s theory of change or the “if …. then” statement: if we do this, then this change will happen.

Outcomes – benefits or changes for individuals or populations during or after participation in program activities reflecting a change in knowledge, attitudes, skills, behavioral changes, or changes in condition or status.

Outputs – direct products of program activities and usually measured in terms of the volume of work accomplished; e.g., number of classes taught, counseling sessions conducted, educational materials distributed, and number of participants receiving the service.

Performance Measures – specific observable, measurable characteristics or changes that represent achievement of a program outcome. Performance measures are what have been observed, measured, assessed, or monitored in clients or systems to learn if the outcome has been achieved.

Priority Outcomes – those outcomes which must be achieved to meet one of the ultimate goals (outcomes). Attaining these will be a strategic focus of United Way’s work for the next 5-10 years. They are:
