This week we continue to build on the fundamentals by recalling inquiry modes and methods. This week we will build on description as an inquiry. You are also introduced to concepts and issues on economic evaluation. These topics are important to help you establish a foundation for your research project. Some important information was reviewed to guide you in describing the activities of a program, the surrounding contexts, the resources involved, and describing the characteristics of stakeholders in the program as well as to identify the expected short-term, intermediate, and long-term outcomes.
Using the fundamentals from this week and following
What public issue/problem(s) does the program address?
Why is this considered a problem?
Who are the target of the program’s services?
How is the program delivered (i.e., resources, activities/services, and outputs)?
What are the expected results (i.e., short term outcomes, intermediate outcomes, long term comes)?
What are the hypothesized effects and relationships? In other words, how are the inputs supposed to result in changes in outputs or outcomes.
