Evaluation of Health Programs: A Postgraduate Overview Course – Module 6 Syllabus: Evaluating Results Abstract:

As part of an effort to strengthen postgraduate education on evaluation of health programs, the Global Evaluation and Monitoring Network for Health (GEMNet-Health) and MEASURE Evaluation have embarked on developing competency-based curriculum materials for a master’s degree level, overview course on evaluation.

This stand-alone module covers the competencies of:

  • Selecting appropriate quantitative and qualitative method(s) for evaluating program results;
  • Recognizing common challenges in evaluating results such as confounding, bias, selection, and statistical power;
  • Interpreting and discussing results;
  • Critically reviewing evaluation results; and
  • Discussing practical constraints in interpreting evaluation results.
