Hi, friend! Following my previous post, maybe a long time ago, could you please explain to me why we need to consider the purpose and audience for the program evaluation in the primary care setting?

Hi there. Following the previous post, I understand the theory of adult learning and experiential learning is in line with Preskill’s suggestion, which emphasizes that participants need to be engaged in collaborative learning strategies rather than simply relying on didactic presentations or reading. Could you please let me know how this perspective is possible in an evaluation capacity-building project?

Hi, friend! I have found the paper and finished the reading. Besides program theory-driven evaluation, it also has mentioned another theory: adult learning and experiential learning. I am curious about it. Would you please kindly give me a clue about why adopting it?

Hi, friend! There is an increasing expectation that we community and public health workers will plan and implement evaluations of small projects we provide, although external professionals undertake much of the program evaluation for our organization. Therefore, we also hope to build capacity for conducting evaluation within ourselves. I suppose it may help if we can find some similar examples to guide this plan. Do you have any suggestions? Besides the MEL framework.

Hi there. I am trying to construct specific evaluation questions for my service. It is about providing mutual group support to young people with longer-term back pain. Through the program evaluation, I hope I could understand how successful the service was in achieving the short- and medium-term outcomes. Could you give me some suggestions?

Hello. Could you please tell me if we could try to evaluate patients’ health outcomes in our program evaluation? I understand it is risky. Maybe our program is not so effective, but it is worth trying. Right?

Hi there. Following my prior post, I heard that The National Committee for Quality Assurance, American Diabetes Association Provider Recognition Program, Diabetes Quality Improvement Project, and National Quality Forum diabetes measurement sets all include HbA1c and lipid control indicators as well as HbA1c, lipid, urine protein, and eye testing. Is it true? If yes, it would so difficult for a medical social worker to collect such data.

Hi there. Collecting questionnaires is really expensive and time-consuming. For NGO staff, it is also very difficult since we have less solid research knowledge. Therefore, I am considering use second-hand data. However, I also found that reliable sources of data on patient behavior (e.g., physical activity or diet) are less available. Could you please help me with this struggle?

Hi everyone, an update! We have decided to utilize an online and paper-based survey to seek the views of gay and bisexual men about our program and their sexual behavior and practices. However, I heard that the data collection methods and analysis used in program evaluation are the same as those used in a standard research project. Is this true? If yes, it would be too difficult for us to use the SPSS software.

Hi everyone! I have found some information from The American Association of Diabetes Educators. They believe changes in patient behavior to be the outcome most sensitive to diabetes self-management support. We are also conducting a program for patients with diabetes. Could you give me a clue about how to measure the behavior changes in patients?

Hi everyone. We realize that patient surveys often are expensive, and relying on patients’ responses to NGO staff. It often could raise the potential for added bias to our evaluation results. I want to ask if you may have any recommendations for it?
