Program Evaluation: Analysis and Interpretation

Using the Internet for research, select scholarly references on three public health evaluation programs. You will use these references to support your responses. These references can be similar to the CDC publication, Introduction to Program Evaluation for Public Health Programs: A Self-Study Guide.

Be sure to review public health programs in your state and include at least one program that addresses the health issue or health disease that you selected as your main theme or topic throughout the course. Use the following public health program matrix guide to analyze and interpret the three programs you selected.

You will need to review, analyze, and interpret each program and use the matrix guide to address the following components:

• State the title of the public health program evaluation and its author.
• List the objectives and goals.
• Explain the purpose of the program (summarize).
• Describe the method and research data collection process (if applicable).
• Explain the framework and why it was selected.
• Address funding options.
• Summarize the findings of the program and include a brief note providing your evaluation of the program.

Fill in your information directly in the matrix. Submit one matrix for each public health program. Be sure to include a 100–200-word summary and evaluation of the program.

The matrix is attached to this post and the topic you will use for finding program evaluations is obesity in alaska.
