Evaluation Types
• Process Evaluation: Checks if the program is being implemented as planned.
• Impact Evaluation: Measures short-term effects.
• Outcome Evaluation: Measures long-term results on health status.
Important Notes
• Health promotion is not only education, it includes creating supportive
environments, policies, and community action.
• Programs must be culturally appropriate and evidence-based.
Positive predictive value: It shows how many cases with a positive test result are sick according
to the reference test.
Negative predictive value: It shows how many cases with a negative test result are healthy
according to the reference test.
There are four general classifications of reliability estimates.
1. Intra-observer or inter-observer reliability.
2. Test-retest reliability.
3. Parallel forms reliability.
4. Internal consistency reliability.
RELIABILITY-CONSISTENCY: When measurements, observations, examinations made in any
research are repeated on the same people under the same conditions, by the same observers,
the extent to which the same results are obtained is determined.
-If there is no observer variation, it is theoretically expected that the measurement results will be
the same or very close to each other in examinations made with the same method on two serum
samples taken from the same person at the same time.
-This dimension of similarity is called the reliability/consistency of observations.
ERROR CAUSES BY OBSERVERS:
1) Inter-observer consistency: When observations and measurements of some variables on the
same people are made by different observers under the same conditions, it is the extent of
similarity between the results.
2) Intra-observer consistency: It is the agreement/consistency between the results of
observations and measurements repeated on the same people, under the same conditions, by
the same observer.
