Evaluation is an integral part of planning and implementing public health initiatives. It is however, often neglected, especially during the initial planning phases, thus limiting its effectiveness in determining a program's value. This session describes programs that have used effective and innovative evaluation methods at various stages of the planning and implementation process and/or have used multiple methods for evaluating impact and outcome.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe how to evaluate the logic of a program 2. Describe methods to effectively measure impact across multiple programs 3. Define how to plan and evaluate digital media campaigns 4. Assess methods for community-based evaluation
