Impact Statement • In 2016, SWT held 5 workshops for over 45 people in the DMV area. The vast majority of those in attendance were African American/Black women. As we grow, SWT will focus on marketing and content to attract and serve men living in underserved communities as well. However, by putting on interactive and applicable workshops, SWT was able to earn an average usefulness rating of 4.72 out of 5.

Data Collection Starting With Today strives to minimize the potential stress and mistrust that can result from asking questions perceived as “too personal” or intrusive. It is our goal to find the delicate balance between building a trusting relationship with our clients and collecting information to provide an accurate snapshot of the population being served. Therefore questions regarding financial stability, employment status and general wellness are only asked at workshops that directly address those topics.
Changes in data collection General Information Form • SWT added multiple response questions to both the intake form and the exit survey to allow participants to choose the options that best fit their experience. We also added an other option to allow the participant to add any other feedback. • We continued to use the Likert 1-5 scale
Limitations • Due to late arrivals and early departures not all participants completed both General Information Forms and the Exit Surveys.
