Safer gambling evaluation learning opportunities
Greo is hoping to make learning about conducting evaluations of safer gambling initiatives as easy as possible by delivering several evaluation learning opportunities over the next year. Well-designed and delivered evaluations are essential to understand the impact of safer gambling interventions, and ultimately what works to reduce gambling harms in practice. All safer gambling stakeholders can benefit from learning how to assess a programme's effectiveness to make programming decisions and improve impacts.
Based upon a needs consultation with National Strategy stakeholders, some of the topics to be covered include:
-
Public health approaches to safer gambling
-
Creating strategic frameworks and best practices for evaluation
-
Commonly used process and outcome indicators
-
Building evaluation costs into all new project proposals
-
Conducting in-house evaluation activities
-
Logic models / theories of change of safer gambling strategies
-
Tools and strategies to share evaluation findings and learning across regulatory settlement funded projects and safer gambling stakeholders
To receive updates on these live-event learning opportunities and other topics of interest, join Greo’s safer gambling stakeholders’ evaluation contact list. You can also monitor the Safer Gambling Evaluation Evidence Hub for regular updates.
