| Summary |
The key to improving public health care programs is to understand the elements of program evaluation. Evaluating Public and Community Health Programs provides the essentials of public health by examining the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health programs and policies. Through a practical approach, this book combines the CDC's six-step model for program evaluation as well as the Donaldson three-step program theory driven evaluation model. Including tables, examples, worksheets, and guidelines, this handbook presents a simple, successful standards-based five-step model for effective results for students, faculty, and researchers. |
