Evaluation

ONDCP and the Battelle Memorial Institute are conducting an evaluation of the DFC program to understand how effective the DFC program has been in achieving its goals. The evaluation seeks to answer the following questions:

1. Are DFC grantees reducing substance abuse among youth?
2. How do DFC coalitions increase collaboration to reduce substance abuse?
3. What are the most successful coalitions doing?

The specific objectives of the evaluation are to:

• Assess whether the DFC program has made an impact on reducing the substance abuse outcomes at the community, state, and national level;
• Assess whether DFC coalitions have increased the capacity and effectiveness of substance abuse coalitions; and
• Identify specific factors that contribute to coalitions’ ability to prevent substance abuse.
