Which evaluation assesses behaviour change and changes in knowledge, attitudes or skills?

• A. Qualitative evaluation
• B. Process evaluation
• C. Impact evaluation
• D. Outcome evaluation

Answer: (C)

The key idea is assessing the actual effects the program has on participants, specifically whether people change how they think or behave as a result of the intervention. This type of evaluation is about determining the changes that can be linked to the program, including shifts in behavior and in knowledge, attitudes, or skills. It aims to show what difference the program made for participants, not just how it was delivered or what happened along the way. It often involves comparing groups or measuring before and after to attribute changes to the program and to understand the magnitude of those changes. Qualitative evaluation focuses on describing experiences and contexts, process evaluation examines how well the program was implemented, and while outcome evaluation can cover short-term changes, the question specifically targets changes in behavior and in knowledge, attitudes, or skills, which is what impact evaluation is designed to capture.
