Using the selected health behavior theory, describe plans for a CBPR intervention aimed at multiple levels of influence . The clearer you are in the specifics regarding your intervention, the easier it will be to develop your evaluation plan.
Describe a comprehensive plan to conduct needs, process, impact, and outcome evaluations of your CBPR intervention. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 and accompanying text in Israel et al., Health Education Quarterly, 1995 .
Describe and apply both quantitative and qualitative methods in your evaluation plan. Examples of methods that are typically used in evaluation are focus groups, structured or semi-structured interviews, Photovoice, cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal surveys, direct observation, and experimental designs such as single group pre/post tests or randomized controlled trials. Several readings and videos from Weeks 8 and 9 discuss these methods and will be helpful.
Describe a plan to evaluate your CBPR intervention’s generalizability/external validity, i.e., how useful your intervention is likely to be beyond your own project. Use a standard framework to assess your program’s generalizability/external validity such as RE-AIM.
