In this Study Session, you have learned that:

• You have to plan your health education activity/program.
• You have to design appropriate interventional strategies and carry out or implement health education programs. i.e., bring all those activities, objectives and strategies into action.
• You have to collect, analyse and interpret data to monitor and evaluate your health education activity/program.
• The most important data collection techniques are observation, interviews, key-informant interviews and focus group discussions. Such data are collected from the primary and secondary sources of data.
• Monitoring refers to the ongoing or periodic assessment of the progress of activities. There are three types of monitoring in health education: input monitoring, output monitoring and process monitoring.
• Evaluation refers to the assessment of the overall objective of the activity/program. The evaluation assesses whether you effectively and efficiently achieved the objective or not. It is judgmental.
