Prevention Education Program Mobilization Analysis Template

(Adapted with permission from Public Health Education: Mobilization Outcome Analysis and Template, monograph written by A. Browne-Miller for U.S. Department of Public Health, 1990.)

One of the most effective forms of prevention is education. Exposure to information and training can result in learning (increases in awareness) that leads to the use of the learning (mobilization) by the participants in the prevention education program. To determine the effectiveness of a prevention education program, the elements of this “mobilization” can be measured according to the following questions:

**PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAM MOBILIZATION ANALYSIS: Summary Information**
Subjects (specify type by age or other characteristics) For example, subjects can be middle and high school aged students who attended program presentations. All subjects who attended this program between (date) and (date) Total = _______
Random sample subjects: Total number of response forms from which this randomly selected sample data of ____ subjects was drawn: ____ Notes: Respondents are “subjects” here. A count of “one” here represents at least one instance of a listed response/event after attendance at one or more programs (it is understood that subjects in sample may have a) listed more than one response or b) had responses they chose not to report here. *Suggest use of this pretest data as general baseline for further mobilization analysis.
RANDOM SAMPLE DATA SUMMARY From among those who attended ___ subjects were randomly selected ___ subjects in sample

MOBILIZATION ANALYSIS (Check all that apply)	# SUBJECTS REPORTING THIS TYPE OF MOBILIZATION RESPONSE
IF NO RESPONSES REPORTED, WRITE “NONE” HERE. IF RESPONSES ARE REPORTED, RECORD THEM BELOW.
