本文概述了对老年人循证健康促进计划的评估，并介绍了《应用老年学杂志》即将发表的一系列相关文章。随着人口老龄化，对健康促进和慢性病自我管理计划的需求不断增长，以及资源有限，评估人员必须提供领导，以确定成年老年客户的积极成果，为计划规划提供信息，并向资助者提供问责制。本文讨论了以下主题：需要评估方案的有效性;以研究为基础的评估基础，特别是RE-AIM模型;评估员的作用;以及评估的指导原则和推动测量的理论模型。它的结论与疾病控制中心的框架进行项目评估的基础上，积极参与计划和社区利益相关者在定制评估的独特需求，特点和障碍，目前在一个社区的过程中进行评估的描述。
This article provides an overview of the evaluation of evidence-based health promotion programs for older adults and introduces an upcoming series of related articles in the Journal of Applied Gerontology. With an aging population, a growing demand for health promotion and chronic disease self-management programs, and limited resources, evaluators must provide leadership to identify positive outcomes for adult older clients, inform program planning, and provide accountability to funders. The article addresses the following topics: the need for assessing the effectiveness of programs; research-based foundations for evaluation, specifically the RE-AIM model; the role of the evaluator; and guiding principles for evaluation and theoretical models that drive measurement. It concludes with the description of a process for conducting program evaluation based on the Center for Disease Con trot's framework for program evaluation, which actively engages program and community stakeholders in tailoring evaluation to the unique needs, characteristics, and barriers present in a community.
