Health education is to achieve its goal by changing the health-related behaviors of the target population. Effect evaluation is to evaluate the related behaviors of the target population and the changes of its influencing factors caused by health education projects.
Compared with health outcomes, the influencing factors of health-related behaviors and behaviors themselves change earlier, so the effect evaluation is also called near-medium term effect evaluation. The content of effect evaluation mainly includes four aspects:
1. tendentious factors-health knowledge, health values, attitude towards certain health-related behaviors or diseases, self-susceptibility, awareness of potential threats to diseases, etc. Of the target population.
2. Influencing factors-accessibility of health services or resources for implementing health behaviors.
3. Intensifying factors-people's views on health-related behaviors or diseases that are closely related to the target population, the social support that the target population gets when taking health-related behaviors, and their own feelings before and after taking behaviors.
4. Health-related behaviors-whether the health-related behaviors of the target population have changed before and after the intervention, the degree of change and the distribution of various changes in the population.
The ultimate goal of health education is to improve the quality of life of the target population. Results The evaluation focused on the changes of health status and quality of life of the target population after the implementation of the health education project.
