pre and post-tests. <br />(b) Positive outcomes will be determined using the pre-test and post-test data reported in <br />Minerva. <br />( c) Evaluation of Minerva data will occur on the 15th of the month following the final date of <br />service for each group. <br />(2) DSHS shall use the following protocol for evaluation : <br />(a) Matched pre-test and post-test pairs will be used in the analysis . <br />(b) To allow for normal attendance drop-off, a 20% leeway will be given for missing post-tests. <br />(c) If there are missing post-tests for entered pre-tests in excess of 20% of pre-tests, missing <br />post-test will be counted as a negative outcome. <br />Example: there are ten (10) pre-tests and seven (7) post-tests. The denominator would be <br />eight (8) and the maximum numerator would be seven (7). <br />(3) Different groups, as determined by Activity Logs, receiving the same program will be clustered <br />by school district. <br />(a) In cases where multiple providers are serving the same school district, groups will be <br />clustered by school district and provider. <br />(b) The results of one (1) provider in a given school district will not impact another provider in <br />the same district. <br />i. In cases where the survey instrument selected for a given program includes more than <br />one scale, the scale that is most closely aligned with the measurable objective linked to <br />the program in Minerva will be used. <br />ii. Results for groups, as determined by Activity Logs, with services that span two (2) <br />contracting periods will be analyzed in the contracting period that the post-test was <br />administered. <br />(c) If fewer than half of the participants in a group, as determined by Activity Log, within a given <br />school district, report positive change in the intended outcome: <br />i. The Contractor shall submit a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for the non- <br />compliant program to the Contract Manager or designee or designee within forty-five <br />(45) days of notice by DSHS. <br />ii. Reimbursement for the CSAP Category row on the A-19 for that program will be held <br />until the PIP is approved by the Contract Manager or designee or their designee. <br />iii. If a second group, as determined by Activity Log, within that same school district has <br />fewer than half of the participants report positive change in the intended outcome, then <br />the following steps will be taken: <br />(A) In cases where there is no active non-compliant program, the Contractor shall <br />discontinue implementation of that program within the specified geography. <br />DSHS Central Contract Services <br />1644CS Prevention Services -County (6-26-2015) Page 13
