Abstract:
Impact assessment seeks to evaluate the effects of a new system realized on target beneficiaries and is an essential process via which to tangibly demonstrate the operational and economic benefits of a research and development (R&D) program. This paper contributes a framework –Program-management Understanding, Measurement, and Assessment (PUMA) - for developing an impact assessment approach for planning and evaluating R&D programs. The intent of the framework is to help an R&D organization provide traceability from the identification of program needs to selecting and conducting R&a

Abstract:
Traditional evaluation tools are oftentimes ill-suited for use in community settings where intervention outcomes of interest may occur at multiple levels and are influenced by interacting factors. Ripple effects mapping (REM) is a participatory technique engaging stakeholders to visually map project/program efforts and results to collect impact data. Using appreciative inquiry, the method helps participants and evaluators understand context for changes resulting from program experiences and is particularly well suited for community-based, participatory programs where impacts often occur beyond

Abstract:
The protective effects of social support on health have been documented in a variety of groups. For HIV-infected persons released from correctional settings, strong social support may be particularly important for obtaining effective postrelease medical treatment and supportive services. Researchers and program evaluators seeking to improve access and adherence to postrelease HIV medical care in this population need accurate measures for the level and type of social support, but current measures have not been fully validated for incarcerated individuals with HIV infection.

Abstract Introduction Breast volume measurement is important for oncoplastic surgery planning and measuring outcomes and side effects of both surgery and radiotherapy, including breast lymphedema. However, accurate breast volume quantification is difficult due to the shape of the breast and isolation of the breast border. Numerous techniques to quantify breast volume exist, but none have been established as a gold standard outcome measure. Three-dimensional (3D) surface imagery using VECTRA-XT can measure breast volume quickly and non-invasively. However, as measurement properties associated w
