What We Do

Program Evaluation

Does your organization need to know whether a program is meeting its goals, and whether there are areas for improvement? TrueScore provides independent evaluations of the extent to which programs are meeting desired outcomes. We perform all aspects of an evaluation, from study design, to data collection and analysis, to communicating results in easy-to-understand reports.

Survey Development

Creating a survey may seem simple, but there is actually a lot of science and expertise that goes into the development of a valid and reliable survey. TrueScore has extensive experience developing surveys and tests to measure changes in knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors of target populations..

Interviews & Focus Groups

We often use qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups to gather richer and more nuanced information from a smaller group of program participants. We have a lot of experience structuring conversations so that they yield useful information aligned to research questions.

Statistical Analyses

TrueScore consultants have expertise in a broad range of statistical methods for analyzing quantitative data collected through surveys, tests or administrative records. We summarize results using concise language and graphics.

Logic Models & Theories of Change

Sometimes organizations need to reconnect with their strategic goals and desired outcomes. We are skilled in the development of logic models and theories of change--essential tools used to graphically depict program inputs, outputs, and desired outcomes. These models are highly useful for planning a new program or evaluating an existing one.

Report Writing

We have published numerous research reports, literature reviews, committee reports, brochures, opinion columns, presentations, and executive summaries. We specialize in taking technical research methods and findings, and explaining them clearly to policy makers, the media, or the public. In other cases, our evaluation reports have been written specifically for program staff or funders, and are not available to the public.
