Description

This How to aims to provide guidance to public and population health programme managers and planners-- whether they be in District Health Boards, non-governmental organisations, or government departments--on how to select timely, appropriate and cost-effective outcome measures for public health programmes. Throughout this How to we aim to provide plain English advice, checklists and examples to guide you through the process of selecting which outcomes to measure and how they should be measured. We provide information about some issues that are likely to arise from adopting a more rigorous outcomes-focused framework to monitoring public health programmes. We also outline the types of data held by the Ministry of Health that may be freely used to help monitor the performance of your public health programmes.
