The objectives for this session are to:
Evaluators from the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention present a brief overview of the CDC Framework for Program Evaluation, including how to apply the standards and steps. Representatives from funded programs (HDSP, WISEWOMAN (A.M.), and Coverdell (P.M.)) give a brief overview of their program and evaluation and describe how they applied the framework to their evaluation, emphasizing successes, challenges, and lessons learned. For example, programs explain how they determined and engaged their evaluation stakeholders, the processes they used to determine their evaluation purpose and identify and prioritize their key evaluation questions, and the channels and products they used or are planning to use to disseminate their evaluation results.
This session trains evaluators on how to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their evaluation plans and logic models. A DHDSP evaluator facilitates an interactive demonstration of its new Logic Model and Evaluation Plan Criteria Checklists. The checklists were developed to provide a set of criteria for assessing the quality of logic models and evaluation plans. They have been shown to have utility in assessing the quality of logic models and evaluation plans of the NHDSP, WISEWOMAN, and Coverdell programs. From this session, participants gain a better understanding of the development process of evaluation checklists and learn how they can be applied to in their evaluation practice.
