Evaluation in health promotion: gathering evidence to improve effectiveness

有效预防疾病和促进健康，以应对澳大利亚面临的公共卫生挑战，需要有强有力的政策和实践证据基础。在自然环境下对方案进行评估是这一证据的重要来源，对于改进战略设计和交付、建立可持续性和指导资金筹集具有重要价值。该项目的目的是确定健康促进机构评估的优势和局限性，并确定与评估实践和使用有关的个人、组织和系统层面因素的作用。预计这些知识将指导建立评价能力的努力，改进组织学习系统，并使证据收集能够提高有效性。

Effective disease prevention and health promotion to address the public health challenges facing Australia requires a strong evidence base for policy and practice. Evaluation of programs in natural contexts is a vital source of this evidence, valuable for improving strategy design and delivery, building sustainability and guiding funding. The aim of this project is to determine the strengths and limitations of evaluation by health promotion agencies, and to identify the roles of individual, organisational and system-level factors in relation to evaluation practice and use. This knowledge is expected to guide efforts to build capacity for evaluation, improve systems for organisational learning, and enable evidence gathering to improve effectiveness.
