2. The cost of the program.
3. The number of people who participated in the program.
4. The extent that the program was empowering for the beneficiaries.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Health promotion programs may also be evaluated in terms of the extent to which they achieve criteria of empowerment, participation, holism, intersectoral collaboration, equity, use of multiple strategies, and sustainability. First and foremost, programs should be empowering, allowing beneficiaries to assume control of the program. The other evaluative criteria of cost and numbers of participants may or may not help evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
