Evaluation - ANSWER ✔✔assess a process or program to provide
evidence and feedback for the program.
Research - ANSWER ✔✔is an organized process using the scientific
method for investigating problems. Can be conducted with the intent to
generalize findings from a sample to a larger population. Does not
always aim for, or achieve, evaluative conclusions, and it is restricted to
empirical (rather than evaluative) data. Bases observed, measured, or
calculated conclusions on that data.
Reliability - ANSWER ✔✔the consistency, dependability, and stability
of the measurement process.
,Validity - ANSWER ✔✔the degree to which a test or assessment
measures what it is intended to measure.
Variables - ANSWER ✔✔operational forms of a construct. Designate
how the construct will be measured in designated scenarios.
Formative Evaluation - ANSWER ✔✔looks at an ongoing process of
evaluation from planning through implementation. Identifying and
assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the way a health educator
implements a program. Allows for continual assessment; allows for
monitoring progress, troubleshooting, and corrective actions.
Process Evaluation - ANSWER ✔✔any combination of measures that
occur as a program is implemented to assure or improve the quality of
performance or delivery
Summative Evaluation - ANSWER ✔✔often associated with
measures of judgments that enable the investigator to draw conclusions.
It is also commonly associated with impact and outcome evaluations.
Focuses on the outcomes or products
Impact Evaluations - ANSWER ✔✔focuses on immediate and
observable effects of a program leading to the desired outcomes.
,Outcome Evaluation - ANSWER ✔✔focused on the ultimate goal,
product or policy. Often measured in terms of morbidity and mortality.
Purpose Statement - ANSWER ✔✔identifies in detail what the health
education specialist wants to learn over the course of an evaluation or
research project. Usually a sentence or two written with specificity and
detail. Helps to focus and guide efforts involved with data collection and
analysis.
Evaluation Questions - ANSWER ✔✔specifically developed
questions. Help to establish boundaries for the evaluation by stating
what aspects of the program will be addressed. Creating encourages

Use to monitor and measure processes, activities, outputs and expected

, Systematic Reviews - ANSWER ✔✔a published qualitative review of
a comprehensive synthesis of publications on particular topics.
Meta-analyses - ANSWER ✔✔a systematic method of evaluating
statistical data based on results of several independent studies of the
same problem.
Pooled analyses - ANSWER ✔✔a method for collecting all the
individual data from a group of studies, combining them into one large
set of data, and then analyzing the data as it came from one big study.
Quantitative Methodology - ANSWER ✔✔focuses on quantifying, or
measuring, things related to health education programs through the use
of numerical data to help describe, explain, or predict phenomena.
Qualitative Methodology - ANSWER ✔✔descriptive in nature and
attempts to discover meaning or interpret why phenomena are occurring.
Mixed Methods Approach - ANSWER ✔✔data collection to "tell the
story" and describe classifications, as well as to indicate why a
phenomenon is occurring within a population
Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HaPI) database - ANSWER
✔✔help health education specialists identify useful existing data
collection instruments. Database collects rating scales, questionnaires,
