Evaluation of WCIE AI/AN

WCIE AI/AN Impact Evaluation Survey

Evaluation of WCIE is at the discretion of the programs implementing the curriculum, but researchers do offer a validated measure that can be used by program implementers. There is no requirement to share data with the American Diabetes Association or Dr. Stotz’s research team.
