Join Oregon Program Evaluators' Network for a free brown bag lunch. Discussant Andrew Robinson will present methods for understanding and influencing adolescents. His primary focus is on optimizing the influence of adults in the lives of adolescents. Andrew notes, "I speak the language of program people but can serve as a translator between the researcher and the program. My role with clients is typically to help them prepare for evaluation and/or translate their evaluation results into actionable solutions. Too often research findings remain dormant and aren't used to make programs more effective."

Andrew Robinson currently works with organizations to optimize the effectiveness of their efforts to positively influence adolescents. His evaluation and monitoring services are designed to strengthen the connection between the people delivering the message and the adolescents receiving the message. Prior to starting his own evaluation group Mr. Robinson was a Marriage and Family Therapist and a director of a nonprofit that worked with adolescents.
