Program planning, Implementation and Evaluation

Program proposed for Module 4 was Mitigating the Flint Water problem through collaborative intervention 

PART 6-A

To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapter 10 of the course text. Consider the importance of developing a realistic budget for your health promotion program.

Post an overview of the anticipated program costs for the program you proposed in Module 4, using Figure 10.2 (p. 283) and Figure 10.3 (p. 286) as a guide. Often, program planners do not have the time and resources to implement an ideal program. Are there any changes you would make to your program based on the anticipated cost? Discuss why you would or would not make changes. Also, discuss how budgetary concerns impact implementation strategy.

PART 6-B

Post a final update on your Evaluation Plan. Topics for discussion include collaboration strategies for development of the evaluation as well as anticipated utilization of the evaluation findings.

PART 6-C

For this Assignment, you are developing an Evaluation Plan for the program you proposed in Module 4. Module 5 covered the steps for designing a program evaluation. Select one of the evaluation questions you developed in Module 5 and design a 6- to 8-page Evaluation Plan that meets the following criteria:

• State the evaluation question you are evaluating, and explain why it is important.
• Discuss which evaluation design you use and why.
• Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the design used. Identify any threats to measurement reliability and validity that you might encounter when collecting data, and discuss what you would do to reduce these threats.
• Describe the methods you would use to collect data to answer the evaluation question.
• Describe any modifications needed to an existing instrument, an instrument that would need to be developed, and/or existing records to access and provide your rationale.
• Summarize the ways in which your evaluation results might be used to improve the program’s quality, utility, and impact on the priority populations, and provide an explanation for why you think the results might be used in these ways.
