  • Program Evaluation: What, Why, When, and How
    • Like eating healthy foods and exercising regularly, program evaluation is something that we all recognize that we need to do but that often doesn't make it to the top of our priority list. Yet, just as diet and exercise are keys to a healthy lifestyle, a strong evaluation process is key to the health and effectiveness of your programs. This one-hour seminar explains the evaluation process and how to integrate evaluation into your programs.  Evaluation isn't difficult, it will improve your programs and help you justify the resources you need for effective prevention efforts, and it doesn't require you to avoid chocolate cake. To schedule this seminar for your organization, contact Genia McKee at genia.mckee@uky.edu or click this link  to fill out the Request Form (write Program Evaluation Presentation in the text box).
