Terms such as distinguish, infer, prove, synthesize, and contrast are important in creating:

objectives.

Which type of objective includes the three types of sub-objectives: learning, behavioral, and environmental?

Impact

Questions such as “Can the proposed outcome be realized during the life of the program?” and “Does the program have enough resources?” are appropriate when planners are:

developing objectives.

Possible evaluation measures such as number of sessions held, attendance, and percentage of the priority population reached would be best used with which type of objectives?

Process

The words “explain“ and “define“ would be best suited for what type of objective?

Knowledge

Community organization is important in health education because it reflects one of its fundamental principles, that of:

starting where the people are.

Which of the following assumptions must be made by those who assist communities with organizing?

A holistic approach can handle problems that a fragmented approach cannot.

People who are seldom involved in community organizing efforts, but contribute in nonactive ways or through financial contributions are called:

supporting participants.

A formal alliance of organizations that come together to work for a common goal is referred to as a:

coalition.

The most accessible assets in community mapping are:

primary building blocks.

Resources that are found outside of a neighborhood and controlled by people from outside are referred to as:

potential building blocks.

Which of the following is not a method used when recruiting volunteers?

Canvassing

Pilot testing:

allows planners to work out problems prior to a program being launched.

By different offerings, by limiting the number of people, by location, and by ability are all approaches to:

phasing in a program.

If a team is in “mourning” it can be thought to be in what stage?

Adjourning

The stage of team development where teams are involved in constructive action is:

performing.

If a program manager is using knowledge about a piece of equipment when training a new employee which type of managerial skill is being used?

Technical

Ensuring information needs of evaluation users are satisfied summarizes which of the standards of evaluation from CDC’s Framework for Program Evaluation?

Utility

The type of evaluation that is focused on assessing and improving quality is:

formative evaluation

Another type of evaluation that is closely associated with formative evaluation is:

process evaluation

The type of evaluation that focuses on whether a program was successfully implemented is:

process evaluation.

Determining whether a program led to changes in health status is an example of:

outcome evaluation.

At its core formative evaluation focuses on:

the quality of program content and program implementation.

The degree to which programs, services, or activities are modified based on feedback received from participants, partners, or other stakeholders is called:

adjustment.

When individuals cannot be randomly assigned to an experimental or control group, which nonequivalent group may be formed?

Comparison group

Evaluators aim to measure the program or intervention effectiveness over time while accounting for additional influences that were not part of an intervention that had some type of impact on results. These additional influences are called:

confounding variables.

Which of the following designs would be considered the gold standard to limit internal and external threats of validity?

Experimental pretest/posttest design

Process evaluation focuses on making changes during the program to improve the quality of the program.

False

Evaluation designs are diagrams that display steps or associations between elements in the evaluation process, often including specific and unique notations.

true

The design O1 X O2 is a diagram of a quasi-experimental pretest posttest design.

false

Data reflecting the initial status or interests of the participants are referred to as baseline data.

True

One barrier to effective program evaluation can be too little time allotted for evaluation.

true

Institutional review board approval is not necessary for program evaluation research.

false

Developing the evaluation design is a step within the data collection process.

False

A phased-in program has the advantage of involving many more people early in the program.

Evaluation designs are diagrams that display steps or associations between elements in the evaluation process, often including specific and unique notations.
