MCHES Planning, Implementing & Evaluating Health
Promotion Programs: Questions And Answers
1974 Right Ans - Health promotion era of public health began
- Lalonde report in Canada
- Health Information & Health Promotion Act in US
Health Education Right Ans - Using evidence-based practices and/or sound
theories that provide the opportunity to acquire knowledge, attitudes, and
skills needed to adopt and maintain healthy behaviors
Any planned combo of learning experiences designed to predispose, enable,
and reinforce voluntary behavior conducive to health in individuals, groups,
and committees
Health Promotion Right Ans - Any planned combo of educational, political,
environmental, regulatory, or organizational mechanisms that support actions
and conditions of living conducive to the health of individuals, groups, and
communities
Takes into account that human behavior is not only governed by personal
factors, but also the structure of the environment
CUP Model Right Ans - Responsibilities, competencies, and sub-
competencies identified for entry level, advanced level 1 and advanced level 2
Responsibilities have remained fairly consistent over past 20 years
Assumptions of Health Promotion Right Ans - - Health status can be
changed
- Health & disease are dynamic
- Dz theories & principles can be understood
- Appropriate prevention strategies can be developed
- Behavior can be changed & those changes can impact health
- Many things contribute to health & influence behavior change
- Initiating & maintaining behavior change is difficult
- Individual responsibility should not be viewed as victim blaming
,- For behavioral change to be permanent, the person must be motivated &
ready to change
Generalized Model Right Ans - Assessing needs
Setting goals and objectives
Developing an intervention
Implementing the intervention
Evaluating the results
Leading by Example (LBE) Instrument Right Ans - Valid instrument to
assess leadership support for HP programs in work settings
Four factor scale:
1. Business alignment with HP objectives
2. Awareness of the economics of health and worker productivity
3. Worksite support for HP
4. Leadership support for HP
Creating a Rationale (general) Right Ans - 1. Title the work "A rationale for
the development of ..."
2. ID problem globally (data and economic cost)
3. Show relationship to proposed priority population (problem statement)
4. State proposed solution (gen overview of program)
5. What an be gained/benefits to decision makers
6. Why program will be successful
7. References
Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) Right Ans - Benefit received from the dollars
invested in the program
Return on Investment Right Ans - Measures the costs of a program versus
the financial return realized by that program
ROI equation Right Ans - ROI = (benefits of investment - amount
invested) / amount invested
ROI for prevention program Right Ans - ROI = net savings/ cost of
interventions
, ROI results indicate ... Right Ans - When ROI = 0, the program pays for
itself; >0 = savings exceed cost
Solid Committee Right Ans - Representatives of all segments of priority
population + Doers + Influencers + Representative of sponsoring agency +
Other stakeholders + Good leadership
Generalized Model Step 1 Right Ans - Assessing Needs
- Collecting and analyzing data to determine health needs of a population
- Setting priorities and selecting priority population
Generalized Model Step 2 Right Ans - Setting Goals and Objectives
- What will be accomplished
Generalized Model Step 3 Right Ans - Developing Interventions
- How goals and objectives will be achieved
Generalized Model Step 4 Right Ans - Implementing interventions
- Putting interventions into action
Generalized Model Step 5 Right Ans - Evaluating Results
- Improving quality
- Determining effectiveness
- Formative eval - quality of program
- Summative evaluations - effectiveness of program
Generalized Model quasi-step Right Ans - Pre-planning
Not included formally since it involves actions that occur before planning
technically begins
PATCH (Planned Approach to Community Health) Right Ans - - Introduced
in 1983
- Planning model to be used in partnership with state and local health
departments and local communities
APEX-PH (Assessment Protocol for Excellence in Public Health) Right Ans -
- Introduced in 1987
- Cooperative project among several prominent public health orgs including
CDC, APHA, and NACCHO
