* Each week your assignment will comprise of a vital component of your Final Evaluation Report. As such, you are encouraged to ensure that you use the feedback you receive each week to make the necessary revisions for your final report. **

For this assignment please read pages 21-26 in the required CDC reading, ‘Developing an Effective Evaluation Report.’ (Links to an external site.)

Clarity of methods and data in a report is key to enabling the audience to understand the information presented and thus act upon the evaluation results. Focusing on the health issue your program is addressing, formulate a methodology that will provide meaningful data that can be used to better solve the health issue within the scope of your organization. For your Final Program Evaluation paper, write a succinct two-three page methods section outlining all of the needed component. Including:

  • Define the purpose of the evaluation
  • Describe the evaluation stakeholder workgroup (ESW).
    • Some stakeholders will be represented in the evaluation stakeholders workgroup (ESW), and some will not. The evaluation stakeholder workgroup (ESW) comprises members who have a stake, or vested interest, in the evaluation findings and can benefit most directly from the evaluation. These members represent the primary users of the evaluation results and generally act as a consultative group throughout the entire planning process, as well as throughout the implementation of the evaluation. Members often are instrumental in the dissemination of results.
  • Describe the stage of development of the program (Planning, Implementation, or Maintenance).
  • Discuss the focus of the evaluation through the lens of the logic model you created or program description and stage of development.
  • Discuss issues related to credibility of data sources available.
  • Describe the indicators and/or performance measures linked to evaluation questions, develop an evaluation methods grid (see required CDC reading, page 23).
  • Assess how your methods section will help you to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in addressing the public health issue of concern.
