This section describes different types of evaluation designs and outlines advantages and disadvantages of each. Many alternative designs can also be created by adding a comparison group, follow-up test, retrospective pretest, and/or intermediate testing to the designs identified

Participants are asked to assess their current level of knowledge/attitudes/skills/intentions AFTER experiencing the program and to reflect on their previous level of knowledge/attitudes/skills/intentions BEFORE experiencing the

Pre & PosttestThe same instrument is used to collect data before the program begins and again at the end of the program.
Pre & Posttest with Comparison GroupData are collected before the program from two groups. One group participates in the program and the other does not. Data are collected from both groups once the program has ended.
Pre & Posttest with Follow-UpData are collected before the program begins, at the end of the program, and again at some point in the future.
Intermediate Testing & PosttestData are collected at multiple points during the program (T1 and T2 in diagram) and again at the end of the program.
