The Office of Policy and Planning coordinates and conducts comprehensive, department-wide outcomes evaluation activities. 

Outcomes evaluation involves the measurement of desired changes related to health and the environment.  By using outcomes evaluation, one is better able to identify what works, what is not working and ways to make improvements. Examples of outcome measures include:

        - Changes in knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills

        - Changes in laws and policies that promote health and a healthy environment

        - Changes in health status and environmental conditions
