Answered by Examlex AI CopilotAs the evaluator of the Family Impact Seminars, I would not focus solely on how research presented at the Seminar influences a policy decision. While this is an important outcome to track, it is not the only measure of the Seminar's impact.
Other outcomes that I would track include the dissemination of research findings to a wider audience, the engagement of policymakers and stakeholders in discussions about family-related issues, the development of new collaborations and partnerships, and the integration of research into practice and programming.
By tracking these additional outcomes, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Family Impact Seminars and how they contribute to advancing family-focused policies and practices. This holistic approach to evaluation will provide a more nuanced and accurate assessment of the Seminar's effectiveness and influence.
