PHO Webinar: Promoting Health: A (re)introduction to program evaluation

Many health promoters in Ontario have spent the COVID-19 pandemic reassigned to the pandemic response, away from health promotion work. In light of this, Public Health Ontario (PHO) is hosting a three-part webinar series that aims to re-familiarize health promoters with key concepts in health promotion. The series will also benefit professionals in both public and community health who wish to learn more about health promotion.
In the third session of the series, Andrea Bodkin, Senior Program Specialist at PHO, introduces general concepts related to program evaluation and introduce PHO’s 10 step process for evaluating health promotion programs. Following this, Kyley Alderson, Health Promotion Specialist with Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health provides an example of an initiative that was evaluated using PHO’s model.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Define evaluation.
2. Recognize the importance of evaluating health promotion programs.
3. Describe PHO’s 10 steps to evaluating health promotion programs.
Presenters: Andrea Bodkin, Kyley Alderson, and Rachel Ackford
