• (Webinar) Strategies to Strengthen Evidence-Based Decision-Making

  • Building off of the CDC's Framework for Thinking about Evidence, UCEE seeks to elevate and integrate contextual (i.e., measurable factors in a community) and experiential (i.e., the collective experience and expertise of community residents and practitioners, or lived experience) evidence alongside best available research evidence (i.e., peer-reviews, published scientific literature) for evidence-informed decision-making. Participants had an opportunity to engage with and provide feedback on a set of proposed principles and strategies to integrate these forms of evidence into decision-making for funding, strategies, policies, programs, and long-term planning.

1. Play with describing “data.” What is it? What layers and shapes and dimensions and faces do you notice? What do you notice about the words, verbs, language you use associated with data?

2. What are the ways you participate in deciding what to measure and how to measure it? About whom? What are the relationships between those measuring and those measured? What is the relationship among the measured, measuring, and the narrative that summarizes?

3. How does your thinking about future impact affect your current practice? In what ways does it expand possibilities, in what ways does it contract possibility?

4. What kinds of conversations are you longing to have but find it hard to get to, or to stay with?
