Handbook for evaluating HIV education (1992)
by Centers for Disease Control (CDC), USA
In the USA, while considerable effort is being expended on school-based HIV prevention education, little data is available yet to suggest whether these programmes are having their intended effect. That is why, to support the efforts of American educators to evaluate the quality of their HIV prevention programmes, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and its contractor, IOX Assessment Associates undertook objective evaluations of the impact of HIV prevention programs. This handbook includes evaluation designs and measurement tools necessary to collect data on the basic programme components of policy development, curriculum design, teacher training, and student outcomes. While the handbook cannot serve all evaluation purposes, it reflects the need to evaluate the basic, most central aspects of HIV prevention programs. The handbook is comprised of nine interrelated yet separate booklets, each addressing a particular evaluation need.
