Are we measuring our efforts? (Process evaluation)

F. Are we measuring our efforts? (Process evaluation)

Phase 3 is about doing the work planned in Phase 2 and making sure the strategies are being implemented as intended. This requires an ongoing examination process, known as process evaluation.

Process evaluation is useful for measuring short-term progress and can help to maintain the motivation of the community to achieve the long-term outcome of reducing falls and promoting healthy active ageing [29].

Process evaluation

Information collected throughout the project/program needs to be regularly entered into a database to enable progress updates and data analysis in Phase 4.

What next?

After you have implemented your project/program for the desired length of time (months/years), you will gather all the information that has been collected during all the phases. This includes the following:

• Phase 1 - the summarised information from the data and the community
• Phase 2 - the goal, objectives and planned strategies
• Phase 3 - action undertaken and analysed using process evaluation

All this information is analysed in Phase 4: Review.
