Program EvaluationOn this page Evaluation FocusThe PRC Program’s evaluation focuses on assessing its national program. Initial activities involved engaging stakeholders, evaluation planning, developing a PRC national logic model (Anderson and others, 2006), and documenting retrospective program activities (Franks and others, 2005); Franks and others,* 2006). The national evaluation implementation is guided by the national logic model and has two main purposes:
Overarching evaluation questions are as follows: What does the PRC program contribute to public health practice and policy —
How is community-based participatory research implemented across PRCs?
What are the similarities and differences across PRCs concerning infrastructure, organizational factors, and how PRCs partner with communities and organizations? Evaluation DesignQuantitative Indicators: The PRC Program indicators collect quantitative data that can be summarized across PRCs and over time. The indicators provide information on the program's depth and scope. Qualitative Studies: The qualitative studies provide information on components of the PRCs’ work that cannot be captured by quantitative indicators. These studies answer several of the following evaluation questions:
As recommended by CDC’s Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health, the PRC national evaluation recognizes the needs and benefits and necessity of involving all project stakeholders. This ensures that diverse perspectives are integrated into the evaluation design, interpretation of findings, and dissemination of results. Evaluation FindingsEvaluation results will be disseminated to PRC Program stakeholders and made available on this Web site. * Links to non-Federal organizations are provided solely as a service to our users.
