Program Evaluation for Farm and Ranch Stress and Suicide Prevention Fellow: Amy Patillo, University of Missouri Roadmap MUEFSPE Fellow Report: The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of Missouri's Farm Ranch Stress Assistance Center to provide mental health services to agricultural producers and their allies. This will allow improved data collection and data storytelling processes with the (12) partner institutions in the North Central Region (NCR). The team collectively worked to understand the data collection and management challenges and is implementing a data collection portal, working with the data collection process and with Question, Persuade, and Refer suicide prevention program. The process will then be used with the additional mental health programs the project is working on. Here are the project achievements and progress to date: ● Farm Ranch Dashboard has been launched. ● Farm Stress Management programs have consolidated pre/post-surveys and instructor end-of-course reports for Taking Care of You and QPR. ● Implemented the new Master Schedule for all programs to track the number of participants registered, completed, and will implement tracking for the number of program scholarships available. ● Initiated streamlining the quarterly grant reporting process. ● Guide sheets added to Dashboard for MOCode used to clarify programs under 2 simultaneous grants, and a Guide sheet for scheduling programs in the Extension reporting system. ● Video created for Grant team members and instructors to set Dashboard as homepage, to set browser as default browser, and a quick review of updates. ● Three program impact statements have been requested by the University of Missouri Extension Administration to showcase the program value in different settings. ● The Vice-Chancellor of Missouri Extension and Engagement chose the Farm and Ranch Stress program to be showcased in the USDAAnnual Impact Report. ● The Dashboard has improved efficiency and access to data and data reporting which has led to increased collaboration and more timely reporting. ● The Dashboard is being consistently utilized by instructors and team members. ● The team is developing a portal to increase access to the project information and better coordinate data collection and outcomes reporting.
