Steps in Program Planning
Step 1: Review the Results of the Community needs Assessment
Step 2: Define Program goals and Objectives
Step 3: Develop a Program Plan Design the Intervention • Design the Nutrition Education Component • Heartworks for Women Program: Assessing Participants’ Needs • Set Goals and Objectives • Specify the Program Format • Choose Program Identifiers • Develop a Marketing Plan • Specify Partnerships Step
4: Develop a Management System
Step 5: identify Funding Sources The Logic Model: A Framework for Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating Programs
Step 6: implement the Program
Enhancing Program Participation
Step 7: Evaluate Program Elements and Effectiveness
An objective has four components:
1) the action or activity to be undertaken,
2) the target population,
3) an indication of how success will be measured or evaluated, and \
4) the time frame in which the objective will be met.
Develop objectives by first asking yourself the following questions:9
WHAT are we going to do?
• WHY is it important for us to accomplish this activity?
• WHO is going to be responsible for the activities?
• WHEN do we want this to be completed? • HOW are we going to do these activities?
Structure objectives
Structure objectives help achieve the process objectives. These are measurable activities surrounding the budget, staffing patterns, management systems, use of the organization’s resources, and coordination of program activities. A structure objective might read, “On the last day of each month for the next 12 months, each community nutritionist will submit an itemized statement of expenses related to conducting the program.”
The logic mode
provides a framework for planning, implementing, managing, and evaluating community nutrition programs.20 It can be very useful for grant proposal writers because, like a road map, it graphically shows where you are and what you’ll need to get to where you want to be. In addition, some grant sponsors now require proposals to include a planning model like the logic model.
situation and priorities, inputs, outputs, outcomes, assumptions, and external factors
Formative evaluation
The process of testing and assessing certain elements of a program before it is implemented fully.
Structure evaluation
The
process of determining adequacy of the internal processes and resources needed to deliver a program, including personnel (staff training) and environmental factors (supply of instructional materials, adequacy of facility and equipment).
Fiscal or Efficiency Evaluation
The purpose of fiscal evaluation is to determine how program outcomes compare with their costs. There are two types of efficiency evaluations: cost–benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis.
Behavior change theory
A systematic explanation of why and/or how people do what they do. A set of constructs, principles, and variables is used to explain or predict behavior. Theories must explain behavior in a broad range of situations
readiness to change, self-efficacy, perceived
Health Belief Model
FOcus: perception of the health problem and appraisal of proposed behavioral changes are central to a decision to change
Key Concept: • perceived susceptibility • perceived impact • perceived advantages of change • appraisal of barriers • Self-efficacy
The Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
Precontemplation—The individual is either unaware of or not interested in making a change. • Contemplation—The individual is thinking about making a change, usually within the next six months. The individual may be weighing the risks and benefits of changing a behavior. • Preparation—The individual actively decides to change and plans a change, usually within one month. The individual may have already tried changing in the recent past. • Action—The individual is trying to make the desired change and has been working at making the change for less than six months. The individual has started making changes in his or her environment to support the changed behavior. • Maintenance—The individual has sustained the change for six months or longer; the changed behavior has become a part of his or her daily routine.
