  • Title: How do we know if we are making a difference with our program or community initiative?
    Author: Francisco VT, Butterfoss FD.
    Journal: Health Promot Pract; 2003 Oct; 4(4):367-70. PubMed ID: 14611021.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors discuss issues related to knowing if health workers are making a difference with their community initiatives or programs being delivered in a community setting. Issues relating to the choice of evaluation questions, relevance of data sets used to answer those questions, and the rigor by which the answer can be evaluated--and the ability to generalize to other communities or populations--are explored. Finally, relevant resources to help you pursue these issues are provided.
