During the process evaluation, you will be planning, implementing those plans, monitoring the
plans and documenting the relationship of the elements of the proposed project. Yuen and Terao
(2003). The focus of the process evaluation is: 1) Explain the development of the program’s
interventions, implementation and activities. 2) Produce qualitative and quantitative data on the
services being delivered and their effectiveness. 3) Document the acceptability and
appropriateness of the program for the target population. How they achieve these goals is
through: 1) Program planning and development. 2) Program interventions 3) Database
management system. Yuen and Terao (2003).
During the outcome evaluation, you will be focusing on: 1) The effectiveness of your
intervention strategies 2) The ATOD use and family capacity 3) The replicability of project.
Yuen and Terao (2003). These areas will be evaluated over a certain period of time on a certain
target population group. There is a schedule that should be followed in order to test these areas:
pre-testing, post-testing and interviewing the client. This is where you will be able to measure the
reliability and validity of the program. Yuen and Terao (2003)
Two examples of the process evaluation are program planning and development and project
goals and objectives. When developing the program planning and their developments, the
information you collect helps measure the progress of the program as well as define what
problems need to be addressed and any associated risks as well as the protective factors. Yuen
and Terao (2003) This is all done by the agency staff,
