Hawaii Department of Human Services

The Hawaii Department of Human services (DHS) currently uses the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant to fund a diverse set of positive youth development programs to prevent teenage pregnancy and other behaviors that can negatively affect a successful transition to adulthood. DHS contracted with The Lewin Group to develop objective criteria for measuring the effectiveness of these programs. The key project tasks were a literature review, field research, and development of performance measures.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
