Success phase

Question 1

What are the 2 main types of intervention evaluation?

Answer 1

1. Effect evaluation
2. Process evaluation?

Question 2

What is being evaluated in effect evaluation?

Answer 2

The extent to which variables that are directly related to the problem have changed over time?

Question 3

What is included in the effect evaluation?

Answer 3

1. The outcome variable
2. Other/more variables within the process model

Question 4

What are the 4 possible scenarios of effect evaluation?

Answer 4

1. Intervention affects causal variables and outcome variable –> big success
2. Intervention affects causal variables but not outcome variables –> some choices in P, A, T of the model were not optimal. Potential wrong outcome variable or unable to find most important causes
3. intervention affects outcome variable but has no impact one causal variables –> doubts about process model and balance table. If used again, leave out specific parts that did not work
4. No change in outcome or causal model –> many things might have gone rong. Process model, balance table, implementation

Question 5

What is included in the effect ladder? (4)

Answer 5

1. Strength of evidence for intervention
2. Description of strenght level
3. type of research needed to revel the strength
4. qualification level of the intervention

Question 6

What is being evaluated in a process evaluation? (5)

Answer 6

1. Completeness of the implementation (is info about intervention complete and addresses in all cases)
2. exposure to the intervention (are materials being used, is target group actively engaged)
3. satisfaction with the intervention (is target group positive about use of intervention)
4. Recruitment (procedures used to attract members of the target group to use the intervention)
5. Context (environmental factors that may have influenced the implementation oft he intervention)
