Health Program Evaluation - Scoping the Evaluation

Overview

What you will study

Participants of the Health Program Evaluation - Scoping the Evaluation course offered by University of Melbourne will explore the definition of evaluation, and discuss the purpose and process of ‘valuing’ a health program, service or initiative.  The different forms of evaluation are presented and discussed in relation to course participants’ own experiences in evaluation. Program logic is introduced, and participants are provided with examples of logic diagrams that extend beyond the typical minimal ‘template’ model, demonstrating the different levels of use of logic diagrams, particularly from a systems perspective. The relevance of program logic diagrams to evaluation and consequently program planning, design, and re-design is illustrated through demonstration and group activity.
