Health Program Planning and Evaluation: A Practical, Systematic Approach
for Community Health, Fifth Edition carefully walks the reader through
the process for developing, implementing, and evaluating successful
community health promotion programs. Featuring reader-friendly,
accessible language and practical tools and concepts, this invaluable
resource prepares students and professionals to become not only
competent health program planners, but savvy consumers of evaluation
reports and prudent users of evaluation consultants. Thoughtfully
constructed, the authors uniquely use program theory-a conceptual model
of program planning and evaluation-throughout the text to reinforce the
cyclical nature of the process. Additionally, each chapter concludes
with a summary that is organized by levels of the public health pyramid,
reinforcing the social-ecological and multi-level nature of health
promotion and public health planning. Key Features: - Examples and
references from public health, medicine, nursing, social work, and
community health that provide an interdisciplinary perspective while
addressing public health programming. - Systems thinking concepts, such
as feedback, and its importance to those who fund health programs and
desire to support programs creating systems change. - Greater focus on
cultural humility - New full color design that brings tables, figures
and diagrams to life - Updated research references, such as studies
using geographic information systems and other advances in the use of
integrated data in public health - Updated internet resources in each
chapter, including sources outside the United States - Each new print
