Evaluation synthesis - “looking back, looking forward” : a summary of six Population Health Contribution program evaluations of the Population and Public Health Branch / prepared by: Management and Program...: H14-215/2004E-PDF

Between April and September 2003, Health Canada’s Management and Program Services Directorate of the Population and Public Health Branch, in collaboration with the Departmental Program Evaluation Division of the Information Analysis and Connectivity Branch, performed a systematic review of six Promotion of Population Health program evaluations. This report communicates what we learned about how programs are designing and implementing evaluations and summarizes what has been reported in those evaluations. In addition to reporting on conclusions reached in the individual evaluation reports, reviewers also present their own conclusions about program outcomes and implementation practices. Particular attention is paid to methodological rigour and the methodological challenges that may be encountered in the planning and execution of program evaluations. This report will be of most interest to those who may wish to draw on the lessons learned in planning program evaluations with national scope.
