Outline a process evaluation of a program designed to reduce the spread of HIV by providing clean needles, counseling, and drug substitutes to intravenous drug users.

What will be an ideal response?


The purpose of a process evaluation is to investigate how the program is operating. Process evaluations are completed to answer a variety of questions related to the operation of a particular program. One question concerns program coverage: Is the program serving its target population? Other questions focus on service delivery: Has the program been implemented as designed? What are the outputs of various program activities? In the past, process evaluations were the primary response to funders who wanted to know whether the agency had actually carried out its planned activities. Increasingly, process evaluations are conducted to identify specific activities that produced program outcomes as well as to determine client satisfaction with the program activities.
