Health Program Evaluation: Using a Culturally Responsive, Racialized, and Equity Perspective

By Veronica G. Thomas and Patricia B. Campbell

This timely textbook focuses on planning and implementing evaluation of public health programs through an equity-focused, socially just and racialized lens. While providing fundamental knowledge, tools, practical skills and theory, the authors challenge the dominant paradigm in planning implementing health evaluation programs, and the impact of power and privilege in evaluation. The text offers a wealth of topics not found in similar texts such as social determinants of health in program planning and evaluation, evaluation ethics in diverse cultural contexts, ethical issues surrounding historical trauma, and the challenges of dealing with the politicalization of evaluation. Engaging features such as Case Studies, Perspectives from Groundbreakers, Reflect and Discuss questions, and Activities incorporate practical and applied opportunities for learning.
