PUBH6475 Program Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation
Module 4 Assignment 1
Intervention Development Article Review
The published literature is rich with examples of health promotion programs that have utilized the principles of effective program implementation covered in this course. The Intervention Development Article Review Worksheet will allow you to critically examine the assignment of these concepts in real-world settings.
To prepare for the Article Review, read Chapters 7 and 8 of the textbook and review the articles listed in the Learning Resources for this module. Reflect on the ways that theories of health behavior were used to develop health promotion interventions.
To complete the Intervention Development Article Review Worksheet, your instructor will select one of the articles provided in the Learning Resources. The instructor will inform the class which article to use. Students should analyze the use of behavioral health theories, and complete the Intervention Development Article Review Worksheet based on the information you obtained from the article.
Support your work with specific citations from this module’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate.

Module 4 Assignment 2
Health Promotion Program Proposal
By Day 7 of Week 7 submit a 12- to 15-page proposal (not including title page and references, double- spaced, Times New Roman font, APA format) including the following points:
Title page including the project title, your name and title as the primary contact person, course, and section number
The following sections of your proposal using APA formatted headers:
1. Introduction
Concicely describe the project relevance and need
Describe how your project complements or adds to other similar initiatives.
2. Community Description
Describe the target audience(s) for the project (e.g. health practitioners, policy-makers, underserved population).
List the geographic location(s) and sites/settings (e.g. hospital, community-based center, school, work setting) where the project activities will take place.
3. Needs Assessment
Provide a summary of the mini-needs assessment conducted to determine a priority health issue for this community. The mini-needs assessment is to be based on available statistics and must focus on population needs, assets and capacities that affect your identified community’s health.
4. Socio-ecological factors
Provide a description of the primary socio-ecological factors related to the health issue.
5. Stakeholders
Identify and describe strategies used to identify your program stakeholders and build coalitions and partnerships.
Identify and describe types of resources and community stakeholders. Indicate the name of the partners you will work with during the project. Describe the role and contribution of each partner.
6. Vision, mission, goals and objectives
Identify the program vision
Identify the program mission
Describe at least one program goal
Describe at least two objectives
7. Theoretical framework
Identify the theory or model used to guide development of the interventions and provide a rationale for your selection.
8. Intervention strategy
Propose an appropriate population-based program intervention strategy based on your theoretical framework that targets one of the socio-ecological factors associated with this health condition and target population.
9. Activities
Identify at least two specific program activities and explain how it would be used in the program.
Explain how each activity is related to your theoretical framework.
10. Logic Model
Create a Logic Model for the program.
11. Conclusion that includes your take home message and implications for social change
12. Reference list in APA format

Module 5 Assignment
Developing Evaluation Questions
Evaluation takes place at various points within a program’s life cycle. It requires different types of questions to elicit the information needed to improve the program and determine its effectiveness. Some of the most commonly used questions are focused specifically on the processes, impacts, and outcomes of the program.
To prepare for this Assignment, review Chapter 13 of the course text. Reflect on the different methods of evaluation and the different types and purposes of program evaluation.
Develop a total of nine evaluation questions for your specific health promotion program—three process, three impact, and three outcome questions—and provide a brief explanation of how these different categories of questions differ from one another. Each set of evaluation questions should be specific to the health promotion program you are aleady developing and using for this course. Ask how, why, to what extent? Avoid questions that elicit a yes/no response.

Module 6 Assignment
Evaluation Plan
Once the program has been designed, it is time to consider how the program will be evaluated. To design an evaluation, you must identify a specific evaluation question and determine the best way to answer it. The evaluation design and methods should be aligned to allow for the collection of data that will answer the specific evaluation question being posed. Poorly designed evaluations lead to wasted time and effort, as well as data that are not useful for program improvement.
For this Assignment, you are developing an Evaluation Plan for the program you proposed in Module 4. Module 5 covered the steps for designing a program evaluation. Select one of the evaluation questions you developed in Module 5 and design a 6- to 8-page Evaluation Plan that meets the following criteria:
State the evaluation question you are evaluating and explain why it is important.
Discuss which evaluation design you use and why.
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the design used. Identify any threats to measurement reliability and validity that you might encounter when collecting data and discuss what you would do to reduce these threats.
Describe the methods you would use to to answer the evaluation question/to evaluate your proposed program.
Describe any modifications needed to an existing instrument, an instrument that would need to be developed, and/or existing records to access and provide your rationale.
Summarize the ways in which your evaluation results might be used to improve the program’s quality, utility, and impact on the priority populations, and provide an explanation for why you think the results might be used in these ways.
