The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Program Evaluations.
Toolbox Resource
Description
This video introduces a discussion on the do’s and don’ts of community prevention program evaluation, emphasizing that strong evaluations are collaborative – grounded in shared logic models, clear goals/objectives, and trust between implementers and evaluators. The guest explains key tradeoffs between in-house and external evaluation (e.g., local context knowledge vs. objectivity/credibility) and underscores why process evaluation (implementation/fidelity) is essential before drawing conclusions about outcomes. The conversation also highlights practical guidance such as using validated measures, planning for dissemination, and evaluating adaptations to ensure programs are effective (and not inadvertently harmful).
