Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outcome evaluations provide data on whether a service has achieved appropriate results or not. It measures the impact of the service on the target population and assesses whether the program is meeting its goals and objectives. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is not correct as it refers to assessing the demand for a service, which is done through needs assessments. Option C is not correct as it refers to collaboration between the evaluator and program director, which may be necessary but does not relate to outcome evaluations. Option D is partially correct as outcome evaluations do help assess whether resources were used effectively, but it is not the primary goal of this evaluation.
