We also provide evaluation research skills to help community-based organizations and educational institutions to understand and enhance the effectiveness of their programs.
Evaluation Research Partnerships
Tools for GoGirlGo
CRPASH researchers worked with the Women's Sports Foundation's (WSF) GoGirlGo program in order to develop an evaluation process and measurement tools. CRPASH designed and implemented a test-retest study of GoGirlGo in two different cities (Boston, MA and San Antonio, TX). The GoGirlGo program works to improve the health of sedentary girls and to keep girls involved in physical activity by supportiing programs and organizations that work with girls. The WSF GoGirlGo cities include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York City, San Antonio.
CRPASH and ESS Partner with Buffalo Soccer Club
CRPASH and the Exercise and Sports Studies (ESS) program at D'Youville College are currently partnering with the Buffalo Soccer Club, which is a non-profit entity of Algonquin Sports for Kids, Inc. ESS program faculty and students assists in evaluation and development of soccer related activities such as after-school soccer programs, as well as house and travel soccer leagues. This partnership facilitates the promotion of soccer as a life-long activity to young people located in Buffalo. It encourages youth and family development, development of athletic identity, and facilitates healthy behavior change using sport as a platform. Through this partnership, ESS faculty and students assist the Buffalo Soccer Club by administering evaluation protocols that measure the physical, emotional, and social benefits of these programs.
