Policy Target
Long-term outcomes
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives move beyond the assessment of short- and medium-term outcomes to also include impacts over the long-term (e.g., within four years or beyond the term of current governments).
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Number/percentage of government units or organizations with protocols detailing how and which measures will be used to assess long-term outcomes
EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY
Initiatives assess the long-term benefits that accrue to the individual and to society, examining the magnitude and extent to which their actions impacted living conditions, health status, and overall wellbeing at individual and population levels.
SAMPLE INDICATORS
- Gross National Happiness Index (e.g., before and after implementation of federal initiatives)
- Levels of life satisfaction (e.g., before and after implementation of an initiative)
- Self-reported health status (e.g., before and after implementation of an initiative)
- Trends of preventable hospitalization (e.g., stratified by socioeconomic status or race/ethnicity)
- Trends of prevalence rates of substance misuse
- Median after-tax income of households (e.g., before and after implementation of an initiative)
