LCE Research & evaluation

Research built on relevance and reciprocity.

LCE is building research and evaluation capacity that starts with community priorities, uses bilingual and culturally responsive engagement, and returns findings to programs, partners, and the public.

01 · Program evaluation

Connect delivery data to effectiveness.

Beyond counts: referral completion, follow-up, participant feedback, perceived access, and qualitative context.
