Evaluation Purpose

Process Evaluation

Outcome and Impact Evaluation

Decide what outcomes you'd like to evaluate from your program. Generally, interventions directed at nutrition and physical activity-related behaviors are not able to track the long-term health benefits that may occur. You may need to assess proximal outcomes that you can use to make a case for impacting health, for example, amount of fruits and vegetables eaten or amount of physical activity performed by the target audience.
