Evaluation Plan

Your Evaluation Plan is a description of the overall approach or design that will be used to guide an evaluation. It includes what will be done, how it will be done, who will do it, when it will be done, why the evaluation is being conducted, and how the findings will likely be used.

Evaluation Planning

In California Tobacco Control, the evaluation plan type refers to the type of evaluation that corresponds with the objective. Choices are legislated or voluntary policy adoption and/or implementation, individual behavior change, other with measurable outcome, and other without measurable outcome. The graphic below shows which types require outcome evaluation. Note: process evaluation can always be useful.
