23
Q

this is a method of health program analysis that involves the analysis of those who participated in the circumstances that surround the problem through focus group discussion (participant’s analysis)

A

qualitative method

24
Q

this is a method of health program analysis where you construct a problem tree illustrating the direct and underlying causes of the problemProvide estimates (evidence-based) on the nature and extent of each cause through the use of indicators

A

quantitative method

25
Q

situational analysis is also known as…

A

community assessment

26
Q

this is the investigation of the current state of the community by identifying health-related issues and subsequent health projects

A

situational analysis

27
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
the problem analysis includes the demographics,, economic data, analysis of health resources present, and description of the health condition of the community

A

FALSE (problem analysis should be “situational analysis/community assessment”)

28
Q

this involves the identification of the health-related issues and concerns logically following the situational analysis of the community

A

problem analysis

29
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
in problem analysis, identified problems are ranked from lowest to highest

A

FALSE (highest to lowest)

30
Q

problem list

A

health service delivery
health information system
human resource for health
health financing
policy, standards, and regulation
governance for health

31
Q

this is where the notable issues would be pitted against each other and rated using a set of criteria with corresponding weight

A

decision matrix

32
Q

this is used to systematically identify the possible contributory factors that lead to the formation of a health problem

A

problem tree

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
the objective tree is where the core problem (highest ranked) which has emerged from the decision matrix is analyzed as its root causes and effects

A

FALSE (“problem tree” not “objective tree”)

34
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
the problem tree is a cause-and-effect network

A

TRUE

35
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
the obstacle analysis matrix is included in the preparatory phase

A

TRUE

36
Q

this includes the overall goal of the health project and the network of its objectives and benefits

A

objective tree

37
Q

this is based on the objective tree; identification of alternatives to solve the core/priority problem and the choice of the best option

A

alternative tree

38
Q

this is based on the objective tree; identification of alternatives to solve the core/priority problem and the choice of the best option

A

alternative tree

39
Q

purpose of developing a plan for a health program/project

A

to formalize commitment to achieve vision
to guide implementation of the program
to seek formal approval from the executive management and budgetary support

40
Q

this involves the analysis of obstacles in the health service implementation and the identification of barriers and constraints that are specifically management problems

A

obstacle matrix/obstacle analysis matrix

41
Q

these are factors that adversely affect the effectiveness and efficacy of the health projeect implementation

A

constraints

42
Q

these are factors that adversely affect the effectiveness and efficacy of the health projeect implementation

A

43
Q

these are assumptions that an existing program is already in place and takes the nature of strengthening an existing program
