Evaluating HIV Education Programs

Conclusion

These five guidelines are important to consider in designing and conducting your HIV education evaluation. They will also provide a set of criteria to use in deciding whether your planned evaluation of an HIV education program is likely to be successful.

Think of these guidelines as procedural decision points. Although you will need to make other choices as an evaluator, these guidelines can function as a framework for the procedural steps you will follow as the evaluation occurs.

As stated at the outset, this treatment of educational evaluation is decidedly modest. By consulting the references listed in the Additional Reading section, you can achieve further insight into evaluative topics.

Five guidelines cannot transform a novice evaluator into an expert. Nonetheless, if you follow this booklet's guidelines when evaluating HIV education programs, you can be confident that your resulting evaluations will be superior to evaluations departing dramatically from the guidelines. In view of the threat represented by HIV and the certainty that more effective HIV education programs will help students avoid HIV infection, improvements in the evaluation of HIV education will be well worth the effort expended.
