In the most effective health promotion programs, evaluation runs parallel
to the other phases, starting at the very beginning of the process when a
program is being planned and continuing in tandem as the program is
implemented and sustained providing continual feedback to program staff,
stakeholders, and participants. This symposium will cover how to assess
whether a health promotion program (or related program or service) is
achieving the desired results by systematically collecting information in
order to answer evaluation questions and guide program decisions.



The Evaluation Symposium presenter, Dr. Frances Marcus Lewis, is a noted
evaluation methodologist and an expert in health behavior theory. She’s a
professor in the Department of Family and Child Nursing at University of
Washington, and the recipient of the Virginia and Prentice Bloedel
Professorship. Her main research activities focus on the processes by which
life threatening chronic illness impacts the family, including school age
and adolescent children.
