Maximize Funding for Your Recovery Programs and Peer Support Services
Economic evaluation is a critical final step in the evaluation toolkit, allowing stakeholders to better understand how far program and service resources go in helping others. Economic evaluation results can also be a powerful tool in advocating for starting or continuing public support and funding for services. However, these evaluations can be challenging to interpret or to understand, especially considering program implementation can vary widely depending on scale, available resources, and factors that have geographic variation like pay or reimbursement rates.
This webinar will begin with a primer on common methods of economic evaluation, focusing on what recovery support program staff and administrators need to know to support an economic evaluation of their services and interpret the results. This primer will highlight cost-effectiveness analysis, a widely-used method of economic evaluation that allows for the direct comparison of different types of services.
Two free cost-effectiveness calculators will be introduced to webinar participants: one for collegiate recovery programs, and one for peer recovery support services. Both calculators deliver program-specific cost-effectiveness results based on user information, and are intended for use by program staff and administrators who want to better understand their programs’ impact, or who want another tool to advocate for funding and support.
