What type of evaluation would the nurse use to measure whether the community health program activities changed the initial reason for the program?
A) Formative
B) Impact
C) Outcome
D) Process
Ans: C
Outcome evaluation measures whether the program activities changed the initial reason for the program. Impact or summative evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Process or formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Some authors make a distinction between formative and process evaluation by using process to denote evaluation conducted during the program, whereas formative may be applied at formative or preprogram stages.
