Outcome and Cost Evaluation
This course was created by the Illinois Public Health Preparedness Center and is part of the Program Development & Evaluation (PH 440) course series. These courses can be taken separately and in any sequence desired. The overall PH 440 series emphasizes practical perspectives on health planning, program development, and evaluation of public health programs. Emphasis is on the processes of assessing, planning, developing, budgeting, implementing, and evaluating public health programs.
Topics include how to develop a health program designed to address needs identified through a systematic needs assessment of communities and aggregates; how to develop a program theory; how to develop an evaluation plan based upon theoretical and scientific grounds best suited to answer the evaluation question; provides the foundation for critiquing formative/process, outcome, and summative/impact evaluation designs, and reports; offers an opportunity to collaborate with consumers and program staff in development of programs and program evaluation; and addresses social, political and organizational factors influencing the utilization of evaluation results.
