Evaluation Resources

Evaluating Your Community-Based Program

This is a two-part guide to program evaluation for pediatricians and others implementing community-based health initiatives.

Part I: Designing Your Evaluation

This resource will help pediatricians implementing community-based programs learn strategies for setting measurable objectives, identifying realistic outcomes, and developing logic models for health initiatives. The guide is designed in a workbook format, which allows it to be used by planning committees when developing program proposals or as an evaluation training tool for project staff.

Part II: Putting Your Evaluation Plan to Work

This is the follow up publication to Part I: Designing Your Evaluation. This guide takes the evaluation plan you developed for your community-based health initiative from the planning to the implementation stage. The guide goes through steps in a workbook format to help you decide how to measure progress on your objectives and collect, analyze, and present the resulting data meaningfully and efficiently.
