Indicator Metrics

The Indicator Metrics report captures data for some of the indicators and metrics reported on throughout PEARS. This report is an overview of which indicators are being targeted and where that impact is occurring at state, regional, or national levels (as applicable). The following article outlines how to access the report, change report filters, view report sections, and how to save the report. Indicators and metrics are based on the SNAP-Ed evaluation framework.
