Evaluation of health promotion interventions is also part of the Nursing Process. In Pender, Murdaugh, and Parsons (2011) they found \"learning to evaluate the literature provides valuable information about the usefulness of individual and community-based interventions\" (p. 256). Today, evaluation is complex, involves interdisciplinary processes, and often is not immediate. Sharma and Romas (2012) suggest using theory to base effectiveness; In Freire\'s Model the action phase takes a \"pedagogical approach\" that is \"process centered\" as opposed to outcome centered. Furthermore Freire\'s model evaluation of health programs is qualitative. In the Keiser library search for a current health promotion article which includes project evaluation, outcomes, and processes. For your classmates provide a brief summary of the article (proposed project) and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention using your textbooks as a guide. Critically analyze the researchers inclusion of all factors necessary for effective evaluation of individual and community-based interventions.
