Question Description
I’m working on a health & medical question and need support to help me understand better.
Please answer the following questions with the attached article.
Read the attached program-evaluation research article:
Kadomoto, N; Iwasa, H; Takahashi, M; Dulnuan, MM; & Kai, I. (2011) Ifugao males, learning and teaching for the improvement of maternal and child health status in the Philippines: an evaluation of a program, BMC Public Health, 11:280-289.
Kadomoto et alia 2011 Males Learning & Teaching MCH.pdf
Then, answer these questions about this health-promotion intervention outcomes-evaluation study:
- Why do the authors report drop-out rates for the 2 groups of men in this maternal-health training program? and what are the implications for study findings of the fact that drop-outs had lower knowledge scores at Time 1 (before entering the training program) than did participants who completed the program?
- What effect might the use of the English language in the maternal-health educational materials and training lecture have had on the effectiveness of this intervention? …and why is that?
- Participants in Group 1 were taught by a trainer who was not from their own village (barangay), but those who taught the program to Group 2 participants were residents of that barangay. How and why might this have affected the outcome measure on mens attitudes toward involvement in pregnancy, delivery, and post-natal maternal health? What do the outcomes data show about this?
- Although this was an outcomes evaluation (testing the effectiveness of the training provided), what changes did researchers suggest for improving the maternal-health intervention program which are more typical of a process evaluation? …and why?
