CPE Program Planning and Development 3

Question 1

Sustainability planning for a peer education program should ideally begin:

Accepted Answer

During the initial program planning phase, before the program launches

Answer

Incorporating sustainability planning from the start ensures that structures, partnerships, and funding strategies are built into the program design rather than added as an afterthought.

Question 2

Process evaluation in program planning and implementation primarily assesses:

Accepted Answer

Whether the program was delivered as intended and reached the target population

Answer

Process evaluation (also called implementation evaluation) measures fidelity — whether the program was carried out as planned — and tracks reach, dosage, and participant engagement.

Question 3

When adapting an evidence-based peer education program for a new population, what should be considered FIRST?

Accepted Answer

The cultural relevance and appropriateness of the program's content and delivery methods for the new population

Answer

Assessing cultural fit first ensures that adaptations preserve the program's core components while making it accessible and relevant to the new target group.

Question 4

The Social Ecological Model (SEM) is used in program planning to address health behaviors by recognizing that individuals are influenced by:

Accepted Answer

Multiple levels of influence including individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors

Answer

The SEM acknowledges that behavior is shaped by factors at multiple nested levels, requiring peer education programs to address more than just individual knowledge and attitudes.

Question 5

In a program logic model, the 'inputs' section refers to:

Accepted Answer

The resources, staff, funding, and materials invested in the program

Answer

Inputs are the resources that go into the program — including human, financial, and material resources — that make program activities possible.
