About APPRECOTS

Who is APPRECOTS?

What is our approach?

APPRECOTS, a Michigan-based company, is fortunate to work with a wide range of client organizations in the public and private sectors, from small programs to large systems. Our clients represent the fields of mental health, education, physical health, criminal justice, and other human service areas.

Our work is grounded in understanding diverse service systems, valid and reliable evaluation methods, and current behavioral and social science research. Blending this knowledge allows us to design and support state of the art programming.

APPRECOTS understands the importance of using data to demonstrate results and help programs reach their goals. We follow a systematic and scientifically-based process to understand a program’s needs and strengths and design an individualized data collection and evaluation strategy. An array of different data analytic methods are always used to gain deep insights into areas of interest, and APPRECOTS analysts collaborate with programs to interpret findings. Reports can be tailored to different target audiences including funders, program leadership, and participants.

APPRECOTS uses research best practices, needs assessments, and other similar tools to design evidence-based programming to meet the needs of your organization.

Working closely with our clients, we ensure we fully understand the existing context and evidence base relevant to any project, then build on this through quantitative and qualitative methods to deliver unique insights.
