Your final project for this course is the creation of a <\/span>mock program evaluation plan <\/span><\/span>using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health. The mock evaluation plan will correspond to the CDC framework steps described in the \u201cIntroduction to Program Evaluation for Public Health Programs: A Self-Study Guide,\u201d including identifying stakeholders, describing the program that will be evaluated, selecting the evaluation design, suggesting credible evidence, and summarizing how these potential findings will be communicated.<\/p>\n

Program evaluation in the public health field is a systematic investigation into the quality, value, or importance of a public health program. Evaluation methods provide the framework for public health practitioners to determine if a program is operating as expected or needs improvement, and to determine if the program has an impact on the short- and long-term health outcomes targeted. As a public health practitioner, you may be called upon to design a program evaluation and\/or to review existing program evaluations to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a selected program.<\/p>\n

For the final assessment in this course, you will have a chance to participate in the program evaluation process by creating a mock program evaluation plan. Your mock program evaluation plan will correspond to most of the CDC framework steps, including identifying stakeholders, describing the program that will be evaluated, selecting the evaluation design, suggesting <\/p>\n

credible evidence, and summarizing how these potential findings will be <\/p>\n

communicated.  You may select one of the following public health programs below: <\/span><\/p>\n

My program choice is: REACH: Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (located under Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity) <\/span><\/p>\n

Visit the CDC websites for the programs listed above (using links in the Module One Resources) to learn more about each program. Ideally, the program you select to evaluate from the list above should be on a health topic in which you have an interest and see yourself using in the future, or one that has been used in a population on which you plan to focus.<\/p>\n

Please Note: Although there are published evaluations of communities funded by the programs above (i.e., you will find one for REACH in one of your readings), these are to be used ONLY as a reference or guidance on how to complete your own \u201cmock evaluation\u201d rather than be submitted as original work, as this would reflect plagiarism.<\/p>\n

Once you have identified a program, you will need to narrow down what you are evaluating by identifying a specific community (population or city) where your chosen program is being implemented. Review the Community Examples list (located in Module One), which provides some options of actual cities\/populations that you could use for your evaluation.<\/p>\n

This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:<\/p>\n
