Six-Month Outcomes Follow-up
The durability check: what stuck after the programme's glow faded.
4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
Exit surveys measure the graduation glow; funders increasingly ask what survived winter. This six-month follow-up measures durability: the changes still present, the ones that faded and why, and current needs – the honest longitudinal data that separates lasting programmes from pleasant ones.
Plan the follow-up at intake, not at six months. The contact permissions, the preferred channel, and the participant identifier that lets you match this response to their exit survey all have to be collected while the person is still in front of you; retro-fitting them to a cohort you have lost touch with is how longitudinal studies quietly become anecdote.
Pair each respondent's answers with their exit survey and the programme's true effect curve draws itself. Report the faded changes as prominently as the lasting ones – a programme that is honest about what does not survive contact with participants' real circumstances is a far more credible grant applicant than one reporting uniform success, and the reasons people give for the fade are usually a specific, fundable gap in follow-on support.

Six months on
It has been about six months since you took part. This survey asks what has changed and what has lasted, which helps us understand the long-term difference the programme makes. It takes about 2 minutes.
Q1.Of the changes the programme brought - how much remains today?*
Q2.What has LASTED - the change you still use or feel?*
Q3.What faded, and what made it hard to keep?
Q4.Would follow-up support help now?
- Yes - refresher or check-in
- Yes - the next-level programme
- No - standing on my own
