Evaluation is a key component of health programs. It involves assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of the program. There are several methodologies used in evaluation:
- Process Evaluation: Examines the implementation of the program and whether it is being carried out as planned. - Outcome Evaluation: Assesses the short-term and long-term effects of the program on health outcomes. - Impact Evaluation: Determines the broader effects of the program on the community and public health.
