Week Four Assignment 1: Professional Portfolio: Section 5: Program Evaluation
In section 2, the mental health issues- depression in the elderly population were
identified, and an education and awareness campaign were suggested or proposed as an
effective intervention. This evaluation plan adapts the CDC's Framework for Program
Evaluation in Public Health, established in 1999, to guide the effective implementation of
programs, ensuring effective decision-making and program improvement. The evaluation
plan is guided by four principles: accuracy, utility, propriety and feasibility, alongside other
standards and steps.
An Evaluation Plan Based Upon the Principles of Public and Population Health
Describe how you will evaluate Your Proposed Program.
The proposed program will be evaluated following various steps. The first is engaging
with the stakeholders. These are among the most crucial resources for the program and
should be consulted for different reasons, including accountability, interpretation of
judgment, facilitating improvements, program development, and knowledge generation and
transferability. The second step is describing the program. This entails providing a
comprehensive overview of the program and the evaluation process, including what can and
cannot be evaluated, as well as the purpose of the evaluation (Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention, 2024). The third step is focusing on the evaluation design. This step involves
understanding the rationale for prioritizing the evaluation questions to ensure transparency
and accepting the evaluation outcomes.
The fourth step is gathering credible evidence. This includes investigating the methods
used to ensure that appropriate information is collected and evaluated. It also ensures that the
questions asked are plausible and the collected data is acceptable. The fifth step is making
