What topics would go well for a health program using the PRECEDE-PROCEED model? Please explain data sources that you could use to inform the program planning process. Do not need to know what the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model is, but rather topics it can be successful in, in relation with health promotion and also data sources we can use to inform the program planning process.

Answer 1

PRECEDE-PROCEED MODEL

• The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a comprehensive structure for assessing health needs for designing ,implenting and evaluating health promotion and other public health programs to meet those needs.
• PRECEDE provides the structure for planning a targeted and focused public health program
• PROCEED provides the structure for implementing and evaluating the public health program.
• PRECEDE stands for predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in Educational diagnosis and evaluation.

1. SOCIAL ASSESSMENT

• Determine the social problems and needs of a given population and identify desired results

2. EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

• Identify the health determinants of the identified problems and set priorities and goals

3. ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

• Analyze behavioural and environmental determinants that predispose, reinforce and enable the behaviours and lifestyles are identified
• Identify administrative and policy factors that influence implentation and match appropriate interventions that encourage desired and expected changes

PROCEED

• PROCEED stands for policy, regulatory and organizational constructs in educational and environmental development. It involves the identification of desired outcomes and program implementation.
• IMPLEMENTATION: design intervention, assess availability of resources and implement program.
• PROCESS EVALUATION: determine if program is reaching the targeted population and acheiving desired goals
• IMPACT EVALUATION: Evaluate the change in behaviour
• OUTCOME EVALUATION: Identify if there is a decrease in the incidence or prevelance of the identified negative behaviour or an increase in identifed positive behaviour

IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS

• The PROCEDE -PROCEED model provides a structure that supports the planning and implentation of health promotion or disease prevention programs.
• The model ahas worked well for many health promotion topics and can effectively support one time interventions or long running programs

DATA SOURCES

• Successful evaluations rely on the collection of data and the use of reliable analysis methods. Evaluations plans should illustrate how, where and from what sources data will be collected.
• Quantitative and qualitative data shoukd be collected within a framework that aligns with stakeholder expectations, project timelines and program objectives.
• Services integration programs leaders may use a range of different data sources including

1. SURVEYS AND QUESTIONNAIRES

• Surveys and questionnaires use open and close ended questions to gather data from program clients, patients, providers or stakeholders.
• Rural services integration programs are conducting regular surveys with families receiving services and other key stakeholders and partner organizations.

2. FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS

• Focus groups and interviews collect information around specific themes or issues relation related to the evaluations.
• Focus groups also allow for collecting observational information.

3. OBSERVATIONS

• Garthers direct information about ongoing program events or stakeholders behaviours using standardized procedures. Provides specific information about the fit of the program for clients ,patients, and stakeholders

4. DOCUMENTS

• Program leaders may review a range of program documents such as outreach logs, electronic health record data, administrative data, and other information to assess and understand the program's processes and outcomes
