INDICATORS
An indicator provides evidence that a certain condition exists or certain results have or have not been achieved (Brizius & Campbell, p.A-15). Indicators enable decision-makers to assess progress towards the achievement of intended outputs, outcomes, goals, and objectives. As such, indicators are an integral part of a results-based accountability system.
TYPES OF INDICATORS
Indicators can measure inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes.
Input indicators measure resources, both human and financial, devoted to a particular program or intervention (i.e. number of case workers). Input indicators can also include measures of characteristics of target populations (i.e. number of clients eligible for a program).
Process indicators measure ways in which program services and goods are provided (i.e. error rates).
Output indicators measure the quantity of goods and services produced and the efficiency of production (i.e. number of people served, speed of response to reports of abuse)
Outcome indicators measure the broader results achieved through the provision of goods and services. These indicators can exist at various levels: population, agency, and program.
Population-level indicators measure changes in the condition or well-being of children, families or communities (i.e. teen pregnancy rate, infant mortality rate). Changes in population level indicators are often long-term results of the efforts of a number of different programs, agencies, and initiatives.
Contextual use of population-level indicators: In some cases, rather than providing information about the results achieved by interventions, population-level indicators may provide information about the context in or assumptions under which these interventions operate. For example, the overall level of unemployment provides important contextual information for job placement programs. In this case, monitoring the unemployment rate allows stakeholders to correctly interpret program results.
Agency- and program-level indicators measure results for which an agency is responsible; program-level indicators measure the results for a program or sub-program is responsible. Agency- and program-level outcome indicators are often defined more narrowly that those pertaining to the population as a whole; for example, they may measure pregnancy rates among teenage girls in a given county or among girls receiving a given set of services. Identification of appropriate indicator levels ensures that expectations are not set unrealistically high.
