Question: I work for an eye care organisation and am in the process of developing patient education material. As I look through this great website - rich in resources - I wonder if you could help me find methods to evaluate health education material.
Answer: There are many good resources that you might find useful regarding evaluation of health education materials. The sections of the "Toolbox" (Section J) dealing with evaluation provide a good summary of the evaluation process and various tools that might have application. I often refer to Thomas Valente's Evaluating Health Promotion Programs (2002). This is a detailed treatment of the process of evaluating health promotion programs but is very readable.
