Deck 13: Choosing a Framework

Question 1

In choosing a planning framework, its effectiveness is determined by prior program success in addressing the health problem of concern.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

Since all planning frameworks address the four generic stages of planning, the amount of time it takes to plan a program is about the same regardless of which one is used.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

The extent of community involvement in the planning process is consistent across all the planning frameworks and is not of concern when selecting a framework.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

Funders often require the use of a specific planning framework, eliminating the need to choose one.

Question 5

Any planning framework chosen should focus on improving health rather than producing a plan.

Question 6

Resource requirements of the different planning frameworks are not factored into the decision-making process as they generally entail the completion of similar tasks and, therefore, require the same or similar resources.

Question 7

In deciding on the most suitable planning framework for a given program, the extent to which the framework allows for adjustments to accommodate the needs of the planning committee should be considered.

Question 8

Since all planning frameworks address the four generic stages of planning, it's fruitless to designate these as criteria for framework selection.

Question 9

With program effectiveness hinging on the goodness-of-fit of the planning framework, it's incumbent upon the planning committee to select the ideal one.

Question 10

In choosing a planning framework, the sequential nature of the steps or stages are taken into consideration.
