Riassunto

A participatory framework connecting community assessment to evidence-based intervention evaluation

Now in its third edition, Evaluating Public and Community Health Programs: Assessment for Evidence Based Interventions provides a systematic, theory-driven approach to program evaluation that places stakeholders at the center of the evaluation process. The text connects community assessment with program implementation while addressing the gap between evaluating evidence-based practices and assessing for them in community health settings.

This updated edition delivers expanded coverage of evidence-based practice evaluation, updated perspectives on community and needs assessment, and strengthened focus on community engagement throughout the research process. The participatory model framework guides readers through practical evaluation strategies that involve all program stakeholders rather than relying solely on evaluation experts. Readers will also find:

• Clear explanations of the links between community assessment, program implementation, and comprehensive program evaluation processes
• Practical, ongoing evaluation strategies emphasizing stakeholder participation and community-centered approaches rooted in participatory research principles
• Health equity considerations integrated throughout, ensuring evaluations address disparities and promote equitable outcomes across diverse populations
• Implementation science frameworks that focus evaluation on factors influencing intervention effectiveness as evidence-based practice
• Theory-driven assessment approaches that provide the foundation for determining whether interventions can achieve evidence-based status

Ideal for students, faculty, researchers, and professionals in public health, community health, community health nursing, preventive medicine, health social work, and public policy, this text provides the essential framework for conducting meaningful program evaluations that engage communities and advance evidence-based practice.
