Course Description:
Grounded in a community-based project, this course enables professionals to develop and conduct public health program evaluations. The application of evaluation methods begins prior to the implementation of a community-based intervention/initiative and continues well after the conclusion of the project. A cultural movement toward increased accountability has elevated the value of evaluating policies, practices, and environments in medicine and public health. Evaluation skills enable professionals to develop evidence-based practices, adapt practices based on evidence, and win funding. Results support scaling and sustainability of efficient and effective strategies. Prerequisite: PUBH 109. Recommended: STATS 137 BIOSTATISTICS
