What is evaluation?Why is it important in public health?How can evaluation lead to improved health outcomes?Evaluation and evidence-based practice are core to professional practice within the wider public health field. Practitioners in a range of sectors, including the voluntary sector, are increasingly being held to account for the success of projects and programmes of activity.

Evaluation is a readily accessible examination of the key theories and principles underpinning approaches to evaluation. It offers a guide to how these principles can be implemented in practice and provides insights into dealing with some of the real-life challenges and complexities of evaluation, including:Identifying indicators of success Developing an evaluation plan Ethical issues Making the most of findings This book is the first in a series on current theories and concepts for those working within the wider field of public health.
