Evaluation Plan Design for Evidence-Based Diabetes Prevention and Management in African American Women
Overview
This paper outlines an evaluation plan for an evidence-based research project targeting diabetes prevention and management among middle-aged African American women, with focus on housing-related risk factors. The project employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative data collection, using SPSS and ANOVA for statistical analysis, with contingency strategies for addressing unsuccessful outcomes.

Designing Evaluation Plan for Evidence-Based Research Project
The project intends to evaluate how the prevalence of diabetes among middle-aged African American women can be prevented, managed, and reduced. As such, the project will be focused on reducing the diabetes burden experienced by this section of the population. The evidence-based project intends to provide interventions against housing-based diabetes risks and assist the diabetic as a result of housing among the target group.
The rationale for the Methods Used in Collecting the Outcome Data
The mixed method approach will be used to collect the data. The methodology consists of the systematic integration of both qualitative and quantitative data in an investigation. The mixed method helps in understanding the research problem by obtaining and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative research in a single study (Wisdom & Creswell, 2013). As such, qualitative data on diabetes issues on both in-patient and outpatient diabetes-related visits will be obtained from hospitals and health centers. Moreover, quantitative data will be collected through questionnaires and interviews through which beneficiaries will describe the experience of being involved in the project. Open-ended questionnaires will provide avenues for the inclusion of mental and emotional benefits of the program to those involved.
Data from hospitals and clinics will be essential in mapping trends, predictions, and projections. A reduction in the number of clinical/hospital visits by people from the target population will imply a positive outcome observed over at least three years.
