Evaluation in health promotion: gathering evidence to improve effectiveness

有效的疾病预防和健康促进，以应对澳大利亚面临的公共卫生挑战，需要一个强有力的证据基础的政策和做法。对自然环境中的项目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措都很有价值。该项目的目的是确定健康促进机构评估的优势和局限性，并确定个人，组织和系统层面的因素在评估实践和使用中的作用。预计这一知识将指导建设评价能力的努力，改进组织学习系统，并使证据收集工作能够提高效力。

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.
