Through this course, I have gained invaluable skills that will, among other things, help me conduct academic research and continue to advance public health as a dietitian.

This specialization teaches learners how to plan and implement effectiveness evaluations of large-scale health programs. It focuses on evaluating health programs in low- and middle-income countries, where routine data are less available and reliable and therefore are often not sufficient to support a rigorous evaluation. The first course, “Evaluating Public Health Programs at Scale”, provides an overview of the issues and evaluation methods in this context; it can be taken as a standalone course for those learners who want a general understanding of effectiveness evaluations. The remaining five courses all do a more comprehensive look at topics covered in the overview course. Plus, each course introduces tools that can be used in an evaluation, including generic survey instruments that can be adapted, and detailed instructions for concrete tasks such as estimating sample sizes, training and supervising surveyors, ensuring data quality, and conducting the analysis. The tools include packages that help in the design of the evaluation (course 2 ), for collecting data on quality of care and implementation strength (course 3), household surveys (course 4), and the Lives Saved Tool (LiST) for modeling impact measures (course 5), all of which are available at: https://www.radar-project.org/. The final course includes code for data cleaning and analysis for various data sets. These tools and this set of courses were funded by a grant from Government Affairs, Canada.

As a public health practictioner who has a graduate degree, I wanted to discover courses that could enhance my professionalism and comeptency the domain of evaluation. With an undegraduate in Health Behavior Science, and a graduate degree in Public Health Practice, I took approximately 2 or 3 evaluation courses in total.
I was absolutely astounded by the quality of content provided by John Hopkins University. For $50, you are able to obtain a multitude of presentations deliberating on evaluation on the global health level. I do not work in global health but I am currently a grant project director. I felt sincerely felt obligated to purchase the certificate because the quality of this course is truly equivlent to an undergraduate course. John Hopkins never fails to dissapoint. There is a prime example of why they are one of the best public schools on planet Earth. Major respect and kudos to the creator.
This course was a great learning experience where I learnt to evaluate the program by breaking it down into different components and analyze each component rather than finding a binomial answers if the project worked or not. This was similar to assessment for learning.
Through this course, I have gained invaluable skills that will, among other things, help me conduct academic research and continue to advance public health as a dietitian.
Excellent course with useful practical exercises. It makes the learner fill more and more confident during the journey.
Excellent course
