It Can Make Your Program Even Better
Data gathered during evaluation enable managers to learn
from mistakes, make modifications as needed, monitor progress
toward the program’s goal, and judge the program’s
ultimate effect upon tobacco use and tobacco-related morbidity
and mortality.
It’s better to spend part of your resources
determining if your tobacco prevention and control program
is worth running than to spend all of your resources
running the program.
Why is that? Because evaluated programs become better programs.
In fact, not evaluating a tobacco prevention and
control program is irresponsible because, without evaluation,
we cannot tell if the program benefits or wastes resources
for the people we are trying to help.
