Evaluation, the last component in the process of patient education, is the most frequently omitted step in producing informative material. Yet, it is essential that program/material evaluation be conducted to determine the impact and success or failure of the program or material. It is vital to be aware of this need and possess knowledge about types of evaluation and those areas that must be included to provide a comprehensive evaluation.
