Since 2012, Choice Research Associates has been awarded an annual grant from the District of Columbia Justice Grants Administration (JGA) to evaluate the Show Up, Stand Out (SUSO) Community-Based Truancy Reduction Project. This project involves conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the SUSO grant initiative designed to reduce truancy for youth from kindergarten through eighth grade through the provision of family case management services and/or engaging youth into participation programs in middle schools. This is a joint effort with project partners including Justice Grants Administration, District of Columbia's Public Schools.

In addition to conducting the evaluation, Choice Research Associates was asked to assist JGA with the development of an Efforts to Outcomes (ETO) enterprise data system. We provide training and technical assistance for integration of data from all community based organizations involved in the project, we monitor the data and oversee creation of ad-hoc and standard reports for ongoing evaluation efforts.
