Values-Based Evaluation What, How, Why presented by Barbara Kahan & Debbie Bang at Best Practice for Better Health 6th IUPHE European Conference on the Effectiveness and Quality on Health PromotionStockholm, June 2005
Presentation Objectives To introduce the Interactive Domain Model To understand ~> • What is the role of values in evaluation • How to evaluate consistency between values and practice • Why there is a relationship between values-based evaluation and program effectiveness
Two meanings for values-based evaluation • using values to shape how we conduct our evaluations • using evaluation to judge how well our values are integrated into practice
The basis for our approach to values-based evaluation • the Interactive Domain Model (IDM), a comprehensive and systematic approach to best practices
Effectiveness in health promotion Effective health promotion practice occurs when there is consistency between our processes and activities and health promotion: • values, goals and ethics • theories and beliefs • evidence • understanding of the environment
Initiating Values-Based Evaluation • In own setting review ~> • Mission / values statements for organization • Goals for the program to be evaluated • Strategic direction documents for organization • Impact on community/population
How values shape evaluation • the next slide shows how two different sets of values result in two different evaluation approaches
How to use evaluation to judge consistency between values & practice • develop a values logic model • identify guidelines for implementing values into practice • identify and define values • develop objectives for integrating values into each of the three practice areas • develop indicators which will show whether objectives are being met
Values & effective practice • effective practice involves more than meeting program outcomes • effective practice includes the translation of values into concrete reality • evaluation of effective practice requires looking at consistency between practice and: values, theories, evidence, understanding of the environment
