Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lavonne needs to determine what services the local area would benefit from most and what types of health insurance programs would be most beneficial to accept, which requires a needs evaluation to assess the needs of the community. A process evaluation would examine the implementation of a program or service, an outcomes evaluation would determine the effectiveness of the program, and a focus group could be used as part of the needs evaluation process but is not a comprehensive evaluation on its own.
