There should be at least one measure per desired outcome. The evaluation design you choose should be capable of assessing behavioral changes in the population you are serving. It should also provide you with the data and information you will need to determine the extent to which your program actually caused or contributed to those changes. They can more easily address large groups of people and are more structured and standardized than qualitative methods. Existing measures are often available in this category.
Qualitative methods answer why and how and usually involve talking to or observing people.
Determine when you will conduct the assessment Of course, you will conduct the final assessment after the completion of the program. Gather the data Whether the data are collected by staff or volunteers, be sure that you have consent and that confidentiality and anonymity are honored and protected. Analyze the data Just as there are qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, there are qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis. If you are reporting the results of a focus group, for example, you would be using a qualitative method. If you are comparing statistics and frequencies of use, you are analyzing quantitatively.
