We provide a high level of qualitative data that enables our clients to maximize the effectiveness of their community health initiatives.
Integration of Community Involvement
Through a series of interviews, focus groups and secondary quantitative document review, a more comprehensive assessment develops. The inclusion of culturally relevant questionnaire design elements and culturally sensitive interaction with staff and community residents provide other critical assessment and evaluation components.
Our work process is based on practical experience in public health education project planning and design, grounded in qualitative research, behavioral sciences and management theory.
Neutrality in Reporting
Inherent bias lies within even the most objective evaluator. Neutrality, therefore, comes with the specific method for presentation of the final data. This data forms the guiding criteria when integrated into an organization's plans for future programs and services.
