Case Studies: Evaluation of Health Promotion & Prevention Programs

This assignment provides an evaluation framework for health promotion and disease prevention programs, emphasizing the importance of reaching the target audience. It includes two case studies: the first focusing on increasing fruit and water consumption among children in the Great Southern region through a school-based policy, and the second addressing diabetes management in the remote Aboriginal community of Tjuntjuntjara. The evaluation previews identify key stakeholders, objectives, and questions to assess program implementation, impact, and future implications. Data collection methods, primarily interviews, are used, and findings are analyzed qualitatively. The first case study concludes with recommendations for leveraging social media and quantitative analysis for enhanced engagement and accuracy. The second case study focuses on diabetes education and community involvement to promote healthier lifestyles. Both cases underscore the significance of structured programs and community-specific approaches to improve health outcomes. Desklib offers similar solved assignments and past papers for students.

Evaluation framework for
health promotion and disease
prevention programs

INTRODUCTION
Evaluation framework for health promotion and disease prevention programs, can be
understood as one of the most specific essential aspect which enhance working reach among
audience and participants for project. Research will also further include analysis of case studies
for evaluating health promotion and disease prevention programs, on basis of attending new
details. Study will enable in depth analysis on significant data analysis methods, and usage of
best effective programs for reaching out to wider sections among people competently towards
strengthened vision and effective timely implementation.
Case study 1
1. Describing the program
 Lower consumption of fruits and vegetables is one of the main issue of concern in Great
Southern region especially among children. Not only this, consumption of water by
children’s is also lower as a result most of the children in Great Southern region are
dehydrating due to which their concentration level in class is reducing. With the help of
Fruit and Water Policy in School Pilot Project children can be indulged in healthy eating
and drinking practices.
 Policy context: This project is directly linked to national food and nutrition policy whose
main priority is to enhance healthy eating habits among people. This project was
extremely important to be conducted for enhancing fruits and vegetable consumption
among children.
 Program aims to address health inequalities among children, by indulging them in healthy
eating, drinking practices at school.
 Program contributes to social change and advocacy by encourage teachers to implement
classroom policies for students, to further increase the consumption of fruit and water
among primary
 Action areas of Ottawa Charter and Jakarta Declaration are reflected in project:
Promoting social responsibility for health, increasing investments for health
development, especially for groups such as children.
Outline of the project has been provided below in given figure:

5 Dissemination of lessons learned
Parents of children will have access to results of the evaluation, as specific student
indulgent information will be sent to them in personal for ensuring adequate and accessible
information is being sent.
The results can be sent by email to respective parents of children through email for wider
health promotion practitioners, for learning work aspects advanced up format to further generate
leveraged work growth criteria.
6 Analysis and interpretation of data
The key findings, themes and information will be summarised from key findings by
analysis based on thematic parameters, for attending new working criteria significantly on
enhanced working growth domains.
7. Report informing stakeholders of the results of the evaluation
(a) Executive summary
Poor consumption of fruits, vegetables and water is one of the main issue in Great
Southern region. Due to lower water consumption dehydration has become a major issue of
concern especially for children of Great Southern region. It is a critical issue mostly because diet
of children, their water consumption is not focused upon as a result of dehydration concentration
of children in classrooms is decreasing. Due to this critical issue a program to encourage children
to enhance their consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as increase their water
consumption is required to be developed.
(b) Program Background
The main purpose of this program was to encourage students to indulge in healthy food
and beverages practice, where consumption of small bottles in water and fruits are

complemented further. This program had also focused upon reducing dehydration issue among
children as it is affecting their health.
A 15 months’ evaluation program was developed for evaluation of project to be done
simultaneously.
Implementation of this project included most of the schools of Great Southern region to
provide background information of children. Sample fruits and water policies were distributed to
schools; students were encouraged to bring 500 ml water bottle to school each day.
(c) Evaluation background
Main purpose of evaluating this project was to ensure that consumption of fruits,
vegetables and water among students has increased, fruits and water policy among schools has
been implemented or not, concentration of students has increased or not. One of the main
constraint within this evolution of this project was availability of resources. This is because data
to be collected was from large population but resources available for collection was limited.
(d) Evaluation methodology
Study design:
Descriptive research study design was used as an effective study design for attaining
results form group of people, situation and varied phenomenon where it further aims to enhance
accuracy significantly as per latest results.
 Strength: It directly displays results in effective order and with concise meaning, where
descriptive research analysis will be dynamically evolving to enhance working strength.
 Limitation: Complicated and elaborative if not done strategically, which may hamper
research results on wider grounds.
Data collection tool:
Interview was selected as a data collection tool and effective instrument, where gaining
outcomes of program from teachers will enable results to be associated with significant aspects
dynamically.
Strength: The strength of this data collection instrument i.e interview, can be understood that
information will be attained from primary source and with high accuracy which further results in
gaining detailed analysis worked on (Mintenig and et.al,., 2020).

 Limitation: The limitation of interview on other hand, is that the procedures are time
taking and also often elaborative which may result in chaos if not conducted in strategical
format.
(e) Data analysis
Qualitative data analysis method was selected for analysis. Data analysis, will be done in
primary formation where results are in proper structured format for gaining results as per scale
among working horizons which further enhances working expertise (Sarrala, 2021). Observation
and inspections, will enable to get results of procedures taken within research analysed where
interview further will deliver competitive aspects worked on strategically.
 Assumption: one of the main observation made was that all the data collected from
interview was authentic.
 Limitation: However, limitation is that it may be at times based on assumptions which
limits accuracy if working decisions not analysed practically.
(f) Findings sections
The findings sections, further enable us to gain results that eleven classes form 6 schools
which participated in school within second term further showed, that majority of students
consumed fruits on afternoons and drank bottle of water. All teachers who answered all
questions in interview planned to continue water policy, and 82 % further planned to continue
fruit policy where feedbacks from teachers suggested projects to be improved on student’s
concentration.
(g) CONCLUSION
This project was a success as most of the schools focused upon implementing fruit and
water policy through structured classroom activities, and also focused upon educating children
about healthy eating and drinking practices including fruits, vegetables and water consumption
(Mohammed, 2021).
(h) Recommendations
For further engaging on new research horizons, fruits and water policy can be further
implemented effectively by bringing on social media could have been used for enhancing
engagement of students outside from school as well. Instead of qualitative, quantitative analysis
method could have been used for identifying accuracy in terms of success of project.

CASE STUDY 2: Diabetes
Step 1. Describe the program
Diabetes is one of the major issue in village of Tjuntjuntjara. In fact, out of four one individual is
diabetic. Paupiyala Tjarutja Aboriginal Corporation took an initiative and implemented a
diabetes education program so that people of this remote village can be educated and awareness
about diabetes can be raised and management of diabetes can be done (Power and et. al., 2021).
This project was of 2 months so that during this time period all the members of community can
be educated about seriousness of this disease, methods of prevention, engagement of members of
community in physical activities. An outline of this project has been provided in below given

Step 3. Focus the evaluation design:
Establish study design:
Pre and post measures of study design is the best study design and for this Process
evaluation method can be selected for evaluation of project. In this method main documents of
the program or project are reviewed (Power and et. al., 2021). This can directly help in
identifying main activities involved in the project, processes involved in the project. This further
helps in identifying whether appropriate measures were taken for educating all the members of
the community or not. It would further help in evaluating appropriateness of all the activities
involved in the project, quality of processes and activities that were implemented.
Data collection tool:
Main types of data collection tools that can be used for generating information for
evaluation of project (Chuter and et. al., 2019). All the main documents associated with the
project would be collected such as Community health clinic records, progress report of the
project, evolution plans etc.
Data collection method:
Qualitative data collection method would be selected for collection of data for evaluation of
project. In this other than collecting important documents, a survey would be conducted in which
community members and healthcare professionals providing service to community people would
participate.

Step 4. Collect data:
Task required to be completed are: completion of health promotion evaluation resource form,
conduction of survey for collection of data would be done (Seear and et. al., 2020).
These task would be undertaken by all the members involved in evaluation program and all the
task, roles and responsibilities would be assigned or determined by head of evaluation committee
and head of Paupiyala Tjarutja Aboriginal Corporation.
Step 5. Disseminate lessons learned
Access to results of evaluation should only be given to head of evaluation committee and
to head of Paupiyala Tjarutja Aboriginal Corporation. In order to ensure that adequate and
accessible information provided to these individual a report that consist of summary of project,
background, method chosen for data collection, analysis of project and key findings of the
evaluation is included.
In order to distribute results for learning of health promotion practitioners: training could
be provided to practitioners, education program details can be provided in printed format, new
technology can be used for communication such as social media, and polices can be developed.

Step 6. Analyse and interpret data:
In order to analyse and interpret results qualitative methods of analysis would be adopted
for analysis of results of reports collected and survey conducted. But selection of appropriate
analysis method would be selected by head of evaluation committee.
Step 7: Report informing stakeholders
(a) Executive summary
Diabetes is one of the main issue which is being faced by Remote community of
Tjuntjuntjara. Out of two one adult is suffering from diabetes. Not only adults but it is an issue of
concern for children as well. Out of four members of community one of them is suffering from
diabetes (Donat, 2017). This is a critical issue which is prevailing among members of remote
community because of lack of awareness among people, lack of knowledge about management
and prevalence of diabetes result in increasing suffering of people from diabetes. Due to this
critical issue there was a need of diabetes education program.
(b) Program background
The main purpose of this program was to increase awareness about management of
diabetes and so that it can be prevented among people of Tjuntjuntjara community.
A 2 months’ log program was developed in which evaluation of health records were done
prevention measures were identified and ways in which it can be managed was identified.
Implementation strategy of this project involved all the members of Tjuntjuntjara village.
Different activities were held at different time so that maximum number of members of
community can attend education and awareness program.
(c) Evaluation background
The main purpose of evaluation is to evaluate whether the program had successfully
helped in generating awareness about diabetes health issue, level of physical activities of
community members were increased and awareness about healthy/ unhealthy eating habits were
changed or not. But however time was one of the main constraint in evaluation of program but
availability of data was not an issue. So in order to overcome it, a survey was conducted for
collection of important and required data.
(d) Evaluation methodology
Pre and post measure study design was selected on the basis of which evaluation of
project was done.

Data collection tool selected was conduction of survey in which both community service
providers and members of community participated. Survey is one of the most effective data
collection tool that can directly help in gaining understanding and viewpoint of participants their
characteristics in an appropriate manner. but it also has a weakness i.e., it only consists of close
ended questions.
For examination and evaluation of data collected, qualitative methods were selected for
evaluation of project.
(e) Data analysis
For analysis of data first of all, all the data will be collected using survey. Then qualitative
analysis method would be selected for analysis of collected data.
Some of the main assumptions made was that made during this analysis were: that all the
participants who participated in the survey had attended the education program, all the answers
given by the respondents were honest.
But it also had some limitations such as: it was a time consuming process.
(f) Findings
This program had successfully helped in educating 100 out of 110 community members
and had further successfully helped in identifying importance of healthy/ unhealthy eating habits
as well as important of physical exercise for preventing diabetes.
(g) Conclusions
From the collected evidences it has been concluded that this program was a success and
had successfully helped in achieving its main program objectives in an appropriate manner.
(h) Recommendations
In future various improvement in implementation of this project can be brought such as
digital technologies can be used for educating target population as it will directly help in
providing education to larger number of population. Whereas for evaluation quantitative analysis
technique can be used in future.
