A comparison of immediate and retrospective evaluations of an HIV and Aids training programme

Department of Psychology University of Surrey

THE question of how health education interventions can be most reliably evaluated is one which has at tracted little attention. This paper focuses on self- report evaluations by participants in an HIV and Aids training programme for maternity staff in Enfield Health Authority during 1989 and 1990, and com pares evaluations made immediately after training sessions with those conducted retrospectively. The two approaches were found to yield similar results, although the retrospective evaluations produced more considered, in-depth and realistic responses. A number of psychological processes which may oper ate when participants are evaluating courses are discussed.
