Coffee Breaks: Evaluation Mini-Trainings

Evaluation Mini-Training "Coffee Breaks" are short presentations–perfect for a 20 minute coffee break–on evaluation basics and hot topics.  These mini-trainings are designed to help you obtain an understanding of evaluation, from how to write an evaluation plan, to deciding which evaluation technique to use, to developing  a logic model, and much more.  Presenters from the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention have designed each session to focus on one aspect of evaluation.  Examples used in the sessions are drawn from heart disease and stroke prevention programs, the WISEWOMAN program, and the Paul Coverdell Stroke Registry program.

Below are some view-on-demand recorded sessions, and downloadable presentations from our archives.
