Description

Abstract: A handbook presents a collection of assessment tools that may be used by health educators to evaluate the effectiveness of alcohol and substance abuse prevention and control programs. The assessment tools were prescreened and reviewed by expert committees before their inclusion. The 7 handbook chapters: review key fundamentals requisite for a systematic evaluation of health education programs; describe 4 categories of measures, their interrelationships and rationale; present guidelines and practical suggestions for the selection, administration, and scoring of measures; discuss the health education program outcomes and their characteristics; describe newly developed and existing measures; and discuss test specifications for the selected measures. An annotated bibliography for follow-up readings and an index of the measures covered by the handbook, are appended. (wz).
