Health Program Evaluation 1 (POPH90324)

This subject is delivered fully online.

This subject examines the diverse purposes health program evaluations can serve and the wide range of environments in which health program evaluations are conducted. In this subject, students will gain an overview of conceptual and methodological issues in the key evaluation approaches using Australian and overseas evaluation examples. The three major stages in the conduct of an evaluation are covered: planning and negotiating the terms and design of the evaluation; data collection and analysis; and the provision of findings. Each stage is considered through example and critique of those examples, with opportunities to apply these skills in the development of an evaluation plan for a real, work-based program.
