Question 2

What are the four components of a well-written objective? Why is each component important?

Accepted Answer

An objective has four components: (1) the action or activity to be undertaken, (2) the target population, (3) an indication of how success will be measured or evaluated, and (4) the time frame in which the objective will be met. Each component is important because they further clarify the program goal, and ultimately lead to a successful intervention. Well-written objectives aid in conducting the components of the program's evaluation plan.

Question 3

Differentiate between cost-benefit analysis and a cost-effectiveness analysis.

Accepted Answer

A cost-benefit analysis estimates both the tangible and intangible benefits of a program and the direct and indirect costs of implementing the program. Unlike a cost-benefit analysis, which reduces a program's benefits and costs to a common monetary unit, a cost-effectiveness analysis relates the effectiveness of reaching the program's goals to the monetary value of the resources going into the program.
