Evaluation of triple touch. An assessment of program delivery.
Triple Touch is a breast health education program developed by the Florida Division of the American Cancer Society in 1994. The program reaches more Florida women each year, and has a larger group of volunteers, than any other breast cancer program sponsored by this American Cancer Society division. The purpose of the evaluation of Triple Touch was to assess and evaluate the program delivery methods of the program. The specific objectives were to identify and describe instructor characteristics, program delivery patterns, and satisfaction with the program. Results will be used for the following purposes: 1) for the future development and implementation of the Triple Touch program; and 2) for building greatly needed research-based knowledge on program implementation and delivery methods. Last, important lessons were learned from using the Collaborative Evaluation Fellows Project model to conduct evaluation research from all perspectives, including those of the evaluation fellow, the evaluation faculty, and the evaluation facilitator.
