Health Interventions and Research Hardcover, 432 pp
"Improving and sustaining successful public health interventions relies increasingly on the ability to identify the key components of an intervention that are effective, to identify for whom the intervention is effective, and to identify under what conditions the intervention is effective." (from the first paragraph of this book) "Process Evaluation for Public Health Interventions and Research makes the strongest case yet for improving our process evaluation methods. The book provides outstanding examples of what excellent evaluation can do and where it needs to go in the 21st century. Any serious researcher in public health intervention research will want to have this book with him or her at all times and use it as a reference if they are to remain on the cutting edge." — David B. Abrams, professor and director, Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine, Brown Medical School and The Miriam Hospital Process evaluation is an essential component of any program evaluation or intervention research effort. This important resource offers an overview of the history, purpose, strengths, and limitations of process evaluation and includes illustrative case material of the current state of the art in process evaluation. Process Evaluation for Public Health Interventions and Research fills an important gap in the literature for public health researchers, professionals, providers, practitioners, scholars, trainers, and students. "This book should be required reading for public health students and professionals involved in intervention delivery and research. It provides excellent and concrete suggestions and tools for conducting effective process evaluation." — Cheryl Perry, professor of epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota "Smart, clear, and useful advice for evaluators on how to study the implementation of health interventions. One of the first books to take the methods and concepts of process evaluation seriously, it should help to raise standards in the field." — Carol Weiss, Beatrice B.
