The Practice of Health Program Evaluation

by David E. Grembowski

Reflecting the latest developments in the field, the Second Edition provides readers with effective methods for evaluating health programs, policies, and health care systems, offering expert guidance for collaborating with stakeholders involved in the process. Author David Grembowski explores evaluation as a three-act play: Act I shows evaluators how to work with decision makers and other groups to identify the questions they want answered; Act II covers selecting appropriate evaluation designs and methods to answer the questions and reveal insights about the program’s impacts, cost-effectiveness, and implementation; and Act III discusses making use of the findings. Packed with relevant examples and detailed explanations, the book offers a step-by-step approach that fully prepares readers to apply research methods in the practice of health program evaluation.

Easy book to read for school about how to do evaluations. Can get dense but overall a good instructional book.

[Abdullah Alhaidari · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a must for health professionals looking to audit or evaluate local quality improvement programmes. It is well structured, easy to read, full of wisdom and examples. It walks you through the stages of planning, conducting and reporting or writing your evaluation findings and how to ensure your findings are addressed at the end.
