Evaluation Questions: Specify 3–5 Evaluation Questions That Will Be the Focus of Your Program Evaluation Plan

The multiple questions focused upon in our program evaluation plan are pretty exciting and very important. The first and foremost question that will be explored and focused upon in this program evaluation plan is, do the people of color that make up the 45% of the population present in the district know about the CDC health guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of the COVID-19 disease (CDC 2021). The second question under focus is assessing and determining the level of awareness present in the community and linking it with the program`s stage of development in the community. If there is less awareness, the program needs to start from the basics, and awareness needs to be provided from the fundamental level. However, suppose it is determined that a good part of the population has gained understanding regarding the matter. In that case, the later program stages of development can be said to be worked upon.

While the third and the last question that will be stressed upon in this program evaluation plan is whether all the resources required to successfully conduct the program will be available in the community or not. The various constraints like the language barriers, cultural barriers, and other health and technology-related barriers that can cause limitations in the progress, or the development and the implementation of the program will also be determined and evaluated. The access the people have to the media and technology, how these members of the community can be reached out too, and the availability of the finances will also be focused upon in this paper as it will help in answering the question regarding the hurdles or constraints that are present (Samantha, 2020).
