Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating Your Health Promotion Programs A 6-Week Public Health Course Week 4: Best Practices/SMART Goals and Objectives/Logic Model
Today: • Discuss the educational and ecological assessment & administration and policy review • Best practices—how to find them/concept of metaevaluation • Setting program goals and SMART objectives • Logic model
Predisposing Factors • Alcohol and drug use • Not taking risk seriously/can’t happen to them • STIs are no big deal • Belief that condoms are not cool • Females lack of assertiveness • Thrill of being caught • Lack of education • Depression • Multiple partners considered cool • Risk is worth it • Peer pressure • Keep a partner who refuses to use condoms (don’t want to make him mad) • History of casual sex partners • Condoms take away pleasure/spontaneity • Males feel they must be assertive/aggressive • Can’t define STIs/HIV as a STI • Girls want to get pregnant • Cultural beliefs/norms • The condoms the center provides are “junk” and break easily • Feel judged when asking for a condom • Feel condoms not necessary when on BC • Out of touch with reality
Enabling Factors • TEAP involvement • Relationship classes • Condom availability • Rules/regulations • Norms on center • Rumor of “wild animals” in the woods • Signs to signify off-limit areas • Self esteem, self appreciation groups • Graphic bulletin board of STIs • Alcohol prevalent on center • Standards of care • Access to care/community agencies • Wellness center open hours • JC “no sex” policy • Wellness provides class in CPP • 1:1 counseling available
Reinforcing Factors • Wellness staff always open and approachable • Peers/staff and student mentors • Rapport between staff and students • Residential advisors present topic at dorm meetings • Local community organizations • Social living staff • Student leaders openly express support for condoms • Posters/print campaign • Message is repeated often through many channels
Discussion of Articles • Condom Use with “Casual” and “Main” Partners: What’s in a Name? • Effective Targeted and Community HIV/STD Prevention Programs (social norms/opinion leaders) • Effective Approaches to Reducing Adolescent Unprotected Sex, Pregnancy, and Childbearing
Best Practices/Metaevaluation • Find what worked other places…ok to steal (just give credit) • Use to answer, “How will we do this?” (e.g., what is the best way to teach condom negotiation skills?) • RECAPP, PubMed, Google Scholar • Focus groups
Program Goal • Will your program make an impact on the health status ? • Will STI prevalence go down? (probably not that you will be able to tell) • Make something up. What do you really want to happen? Reduce the life-long incidence of STIs in JC students at your center?
SMART Objectives • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Realistic • Time-sensitive
Turn This Into a SMART Objective • Decrease # of students who report having unprotected sex in the past month • Make condoms available • Decrease access to secluded areas on center • Increase condom negotiation skills
Make sure your objectives… • Relate to student behaviors or environmental changes • Make sure activities reflect each of your objectives
The Logic Model • Planning and evaluation tool • Shows linkages between investments and activities, outputs and expected outcomes • Communicates externally the rationale, activities, and expected results • Tests whether the policy, program or initiative “makes sense” • Provides fundamental framework on which the evaluation strategies are based Source: United States Department of Agriculture. (2009). Logic Models. Available at: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/about/strat_plan_logic_models.html
Homework • Add to homework #3 (no need to resubmit) • Program goals and objectives • Edit the Logic Model • Find one best practice, article, or activity idea from an evidence-based program that will help you plan your activities(e.g., how do you teach condom negotiation skills?) (RECAPP is a good place to start) • Email the article or link to the entire group with a 2-3 sentence summary and read pertinent information that others have shared
