【 摘 要 】

The Genesee County Health Department has created a ;;Healthy Genesee County 2020;; is strategic plan to empower neighborhoods and to reduce health disparities related to: heart disease, type-2 diabetes, lowering the high rates of preventable health conditions, zoning laws for liquor stores, preventing too many fast food outlets, etc. In addition, the Genesee County Health Department collaborates with different agencies and sponsors to prevent diseases and promote health by hosting an annual Public Health Conference.There are three different types of evaluation: impact, outcome and process. Impact Evaluation measures the objectives and the immediate effect of the program. Outcome Evaluation measures long term effects of the program (My-Peer Toolkit, 2017). Process Evaluation measures the activities of the program, program quality and who the program is reaching. In this report, the Student Evaluator will use the process evaluation method to assess the quality of the conference. This report will give a descriptive background into the ;;2016 Public Health Conference;;. The purpose ofthis report is to analyze process evaluation data and to inform future conference planning.
