X. Evaluation

The evaluation process of the program is intended to follow up and determine if the

program was successful in accomplishing its goals as well as how it could possibly be improved.

In order for this to happen, the goals from the implementation section of the program must be

met or somewhat achieved to an extent. Of course, the validity of the program’s progress

depends on the individuals involved in the program, and the data based on the success of the

program will be collected through a post-assessment survey conducted through media and email.

To properly address each aspect that was covered, an extensive list of questions is included in the

survey listed and implemented below.

Evaluations will be collected primarily through the use of a post-assessment survey that

participants can take in order to provide feedback. The survey will ask questions regarding the

amount of physical activity that each participant engages in, evaluating personal food selections,

and what the program has taught them. Questions will be simple to answer and questions will

typically ask participants to rate their use of the program. These types of questions will be

helpful in evaluating how effective the program was and to determine how often people took

advantage of the resources that are provided through the program. It will also highlight any

issues or problems that may have occurred during the program and how they can be corrected for

the future. Lastly, there will be pre-assessment questions that will ask how effective the program

was and if there are any suggestions that participants have that would improve the overall

effectiveness of the program. These types of questions will help determine if the methodology of

the program was a success.

On one hand, the post-assessment survey will give us relevant insights on the

participants' perception of NEW AU as well as it’s impact on their lifestyle. On the other hand,

“NEW AU” will compare and contrast their feedback to the mission, goals and objectives of the

program. Specific indicators will be used in order to quantify and qualify each result then make

conclusions. From this process, it can be determined what worked well, what did not work and

what can be improved in future programs.
