  • Summary

    Program evaluations are a fundamental tool of prevention science. They provide insight into a program’s effectiveness and efficiency by systematically collecting information. There are a wide variety of program evaluation types that can be used across early, intermediate, and later phases of intervention to assess a variety of outcomes. This chapter will discuss using theory of change and logic models and will explore the type of evaluation that may be best suited for different stages of prevention program development (formative, process, or outcome). Program evaluation examples are used to illustrate different techniques. Attention to the sociopolitical context within prevention program evaluations is also discussed.
