Three "levels" of the state of the art are discussed: the "ideal," for program evaluation; the "practical," with political limitations; and the "actual," for current practices. A review by Lloyd and Abrahamson (l979) is updated and current practices are discussed. Finally, a historical review introduces a…

Two examples from the cluster evaluation of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation's Community Partnership for Health Professions Education illustrate why flexibility in evaluation design and activities is essential to collaborate with program directors and be responsive to program needs. (SLD)

The new quality assurance system for nursing homes implemented by the New York State Department of Health in 1981 was compared to the previous system. The new system devoted more resources to on-site activities and identified more patient-care deficiencies and more repeat deficiencies. (SLD)

Peer reviewedLange, Brian – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1979
If the proposition is accepted that service agencies occupy unique environments, then single organism research designs (such as ABAB) and multiple baseline designs may provide more valuable information than currently accepted research methodologies. (Author/MH)

Peer reviewedPopham, W. James – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1993
A strategy to encourage evaluation used by the Centers for Disease Control in the Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) is described. DASH personnel tried to make evaluation of human immunodeficiency virus education programs more attractive by providing materials and models for evaluation. (SLD)

Peer reviewedSuen, Hoi K. – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1984
The Bayesian inferential process is modified for use in an aggregate meta-analytic evaluation. Compared with the average effect size meta-analytic approach, the Bayesian approach was more sensitive, more consistent and more powerful. This approach is recommended when primary data are not available and when all evaluations involve comparisons of…

Peer reviewedSteckler, Allan – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1989
A qualitative case study and monitoring data complemented a study of the evaluation of a health promotion program (Project LIFE) conducted in 23 rubber-producing plants in the United States. The study illustrates assessment of threats to internal validity, including the degree to which the planned intervention was actually implemented. (SLD)

Peer reviewedRiggin, Leslie J. C.; And Others – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1995
In October 1994, legislation established a requirement that Public Health Services (PHS) programs spend at least 0.2% of appropriated funds on program evaluation. Legislative changes are a result of a study of the use of PHS set-aside funds from 1988 through 1992. They are intended to encourage more and better evaluation. (SLD)

Peer reviewedSinacore, James M.; And Others – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1992
It is argued that there is a benefit to applying techniques of exploratory data analysis (EDA) to program evaluation. The evaluation of a rehabilitation program for people with rheumatoid arthritis (20 subjects and 21 comparisons) through EDA supports the argument, indicating outcomes more precisely than conventional analysis of variance. (SLD)

Peer reviewedStumpf, Steven H.; Liskin, Jack – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1994
In a study conducted over three years involving selection of 32 students and 15 alternates for a physicians-assistant program, a modified ranking system was compared with a more traditional voting system. Excellent agreement existed between the methods and neither compromised the selection of disadvantaged students. Advantages of the modified…

Peer reviewedGrover, Paul L.; Uguroglu, Margaret E. – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1984
Ethical issues relating to naturalistic evaluation are addressed, focusing on the role of the evaluator, problems of privacy and data gathering techniques, and issues relating to the use/abuse of findings. Benefits and costs of the naturalistic approach to program evaluation are also identified. (EGS)

Peer reviewedBland, Carole J.; And Others – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1984
Drawing on current models for increasing the use of information from external evaluations, the authors offer a user-centered approach for increasing the use of results from internal evaluations of graduate medical education. The overriding emphasis of the user-centered approach is the utility of the resultant data. (Author/BW)

Peer reviewedHalvorson, Holly W.; And Others – Evaluation and the Health Professions, 1993
Process evaluation of the Partners for Prevention pilot project testing an office-based system involving 17 Denver (Colorado) physicians in an effort to increase cancer prevention indicates the value of the program philosophy as well as various deficiencies in its operation. New strategies suggested by the evaluation are being tested. (SLD)
