Title: Evaluation of public health demonstration programs: the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of WISEWOMAN.
Authors: Finkelstein EA (AUTHOR), Wittenborn JS (AUTHOR), Farris RP (AUTHOR)
Source: Journal of Women's Health (15409996). Jun2004, Vol. 13 Issue 5, p625-633. 9p.
Subjects: Public health, Medical care, Infectious disease transmission, Health education, Preventive health services, Qualitative research
Abstract: BACKGROUND: In today's healthcare environment, public health resources are scarce. Thus, interventions to improve the public's health must be rigorously evaluated to ensure that they make the best use of available resources. METHODS: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a general framework for program evaluation. This paper presents additional details on several key evaluation areas within CDC's framework. RESULTS: Successful evaluations will be built into the program design; will be multifaceted, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods; will assess both process and outcome measures; and will engage stakeholders to ensure utility of results. CONCLUSIONS: Well-planned evaluations can lead to less burdensome yet more effective assessment and better program performance and can increase the knowledge base for health promotion practice.
