Abstract
The goal of the evaluation was to measure the effectiveness of the Campaign’s educational materials in raising awareness among the general public and enhancing the knowledge of healthcare personnel. Through this measurement the evaluation results would then also provide recommendations for improvements to the materials. To achieve these goals the evaluation team at NICRP created a strategic dissemination plan designed to support a formal evaluation of messages within the materials, message delivery and general knowledge and understanding of safe injection practices by both providers and the general public. Methods utilized to conduct this evaluation included:
- Surveys of both patients and healthcare professionals collected in medical offices which frequently administer injections throughout Nevada;
- Focus groups with members of the general public (potential patients) as well as health care professionals statewide;
- An expert marketing review of campaign materials;
- A statewide telephone survey assessing public education and attitudes regarding safe injection practices; and
- A brief process evaluation of the Nevada Safe Injections Workgroup.
