PSE site activities in PEARS feed into the PSE Change Initiatives section of Project and Activity Results in National PEARS.
A video walkthrough of this mapping document is provided here:
Logic Applied
Records Included:
- Only records attached to the selected Reporting Year (i.e., 2023)
- Only records with the “SNAP-Ed” Program Area attached
- Only records that are marked as complete
Records Excluded:
- Any record entered by Canopy staff or test users
Additional Logic:
- Only records with Stages of Implementation in PEARS of “Started implementation of changes” or greater and where “Total Reach” is not unknown are included in the “PSE Changes Adopted” section. All PSE site activity records are used for the “Active Partners” section.
- For any data in Project and Activity Results, the project specified in the “General Information” section of PEARS must match a corresponding Project in N-PEARS. Data will be aggregated/included by project.
- Only “new” changes adopted are included in the N-PEARS Export. For each change reported, if the same Organization/Project/Site/Change combination existed in the previous year, the change is coded as “maintained” and is excluded from the N-PEARS Export.
- If two or more PEARS records exist for the same site/project combination and meet the logic criteria, then the higher of the reach numbers will be used and a list of all “new” or adopted PSE changes at the site will be used. This applies to the “Changes Adopted” section.
- If any PSE Site Activity contains changes adopted that are not in the current reporting period (and have a matching change in N-PEARS), those changes will not be included in the N-PEARS Export.
Field Mapping

Calculation |
Project |
General Information |
Does this project include one or more policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) initiative(s)? |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives |
If any PSE site activity meeting the logic criteria exists, select “Yes”. Otherwise, select “No”. |
Site |
General Information |
PSE Site |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives -> PSE Changes Maintained/Adopted -> [PSE Site Record] |
For each PSE site activity meeting the logic criteria, a matching site will be selected from the “Project Sites” in N-PEARS or created if it does not already exist. |
Setting |
General Information |
Site -> Setting |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> Project Sites |
For all PSE site activities meeting the logic criteria, annotate each site with a list of distinct Settings used. |
Stage of Implementation |
General Information |
Site -> Intervention Approaches |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> Project Sites |
For all PSE site activities meeting the logic criteria, annotate each site with the corresponding Intervention approach.See table below for mapping of stages to intervention approaches. |
Partner |
Partners |
Number of Partners |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives -> Active Partners -> [Partner Record] |
Count each partner once per partner type.See Partnerships for more information. |
Changes |
Changes Adopted |
PSE Change Adopted |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives -> PSE Changes Adopted -> [PSE Site Record] |
For Changes Adopted, only changes that did not exist for the same site/project combination in the previous year are logged as “Adopted”.Note that the list of PSE changes in PEARS and N-PEARS matches exactly, so no mapping table is shown below. |
Reach |
Changes Adopted |
Actual Reach |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives -> PSE Changes Maintained -> [PSE Site Record] |
Note that any PSE record with no Reach reported will be excluded from the PSE Changes data in the N-PEARS Export. |
Reach |
Changes Adopted |
Estimated Reach |
Project and Activity Results -> [Project Record] -> PSE Change Initiatives -> PSE Changes Adopted -> [PSE Site Record] |
Note that any PSE record with no Reach reported will be excluded from the PSE Changes data in the N-PEARS Export. |
