Methods for Assessing Success

1. Participant Feedback

1.1. Post-Event Surveys:

• Purpose: Surveys are a direct method to gather participant insights. They can help understand how attendees felt about the workshop and what they learned.
• Survey Structure:
  • Likert Scale Questions: Ask participants to rate statements such as, “The workshop helped me set clear wellness goals,” or “I feel more motivated to achieve my wellness goals after attending the workshop.”
  • Open-Ended Questions: Include space for participants to share their thoughts, challenges, or suggestions. Questions might include:
    • “What was the most valuable part of the workshop?”
    • “What would you change or improve about the event?”
    • “Do you feel more confident about achieving your health goals? Why or why not?”
  • Rating System: Include a scale (e.g., 1 to 5) to measure overall satisfaction, understanding of the material, and relevance of the workshop to their personal wellness goals.

1.2. Participant Interviews or Focus Groups (Optional):

• Purpose: In addition to surveys, conducting a small number of interviews or focus group sessions can provide deeper, qualitative insights into the event’s effectiveness.
• Process: Select a few willing participants and ask them about their experiences in more detail, focusing on areas such as workshop content, engagement, and personal impact.

1.3. Participant Testimonials:

• Purpose: Collect testimonials from participants who were particularly impacted by the workshop. These personal stories help demonstrate success and highlight the emotional or behavioral changes that resulted from the event.
• Usage: These can be shared in reports, on the website, or through social media to encourage future participation.

• Insights: A high level of interaction typically shows that participants are interested and engaged, which may lead to more successful outcomes.

2.4. Post-Event Content Engagement:

• Metrics to Track:
  • Number of participants who downloaded or accessed additional materials (e.g., habit trackers, goal-setting templates).

• Questions to Include:
  • “Have you made progress toward the health goals you set during the workshop?”
  • “What strategies from the workshop have you found most useful in maintaining motivation?”
  • “Are you still following the wellness habits you started during the event?”
