"The Health Action AIDS staff at Physicians for Human Rights really enjoyed working with Arbor consultants. They were knowledgeable about the issues we are addressing, and open and collaborative in their work style. Arbor provided us with a comprehensive evaluation of our global HIV/AIDS Campaign that generated thought-provoking insights, strengthening the Campaign. Their contributions to our work were extremely useful." Pat Daoust MSN, RN

Our Clients
ACP solves complex problems in a variety of content areas for governments and foundations as well as nonprofit associations and institutions. ACP was formed in 2002 to take advantage of the combined skills and expertise of its Principals.
Recent ACP clients include:
TERC, Cambridge, MA
ACP is conducting a four-year evaluation of Statistics for Action (SfA),
a collaborative initiative between TERC and environmental action groups
in New England, California, Appalachia and Chicago. Using
both quantitative and qualitative methods, we are evaluating the extent
to which informal training in math and science helps environmental organizers
and community activists to better understand and address pressing environmental
problems.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR)
ACP is conducting a three-year evaluation
of PHR's Health Action AIDS (HAA) Campaign, based on a Logic Model we
developed in collaboration with HAA staff. Using both qualitative and
quantitative research methods, we are assessing the Campaign’s
success in mobilizing health care professionals to educate U.S. policymakers
about effective responses to the global AIDS pandemic.
ACP designed and implemented a two-year evaluation of a student-led social marketing initiative aimed at reducing high-risk alcohol use among undergraduates, identifying an enabling environment within the University that contributes to alcohol abuse. We designed a Logic Model, in conjunction with key stakeholders on this campaign – including students and university administrators – that provided the foundation for the ongoing evaluation of this initiative.
Boston University School of Public Health
ACP conducted a process evaluation of an initiative led by the Boston
University School of Public Health (BUSPH), the Boston Housing Authority
and the Boston Public Health Commission, aimed at improving the health of
public housing residents. Using our findings, we advised the BUSPH on how
to strengthen the collaboration among partners in order to achieve the partnerhip’s
goals.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
ACP conducted a longitudinal study of factors contributing to the resignation/retirement
of FDIC employees, providing Human Resources leaders with an analysis
of FDIC corporate culture, supervisor-employee relationships, and corporate
policies and programs that shaped employees’ decisions to leave.
