    Thank you for the lecture.. can you explain how I can apply evaluation in critical thinking. For example, trying to reduce the new on set of HIV or syph in a community, how can I evaluate that the goal is being met? and what kind of intervention I would use to decrease new onset?

      Hi Abbey, thanks for your questions. The best way to evaluate STD's in your local community is to get in touch with your local health department. STD's are considered mandatory reporting by healthcare professionals, and in my area, the local health department had access to those numbers. The best way to show if your intervention has worked is to compare those number for a few years before and after your intervention to see if the numbers dropped. This will show long-term changes. For short-term proof of knowledge, you can do a survey in your community pre and post intervention.
      There are a variety of interventions available to educate about HIV and syphilis, I recommend beginning with a community assessment to get a baseline of your community. Focus groups, surveys, partnerships with medical providers, etc. are all ways to assess the community and find out their knowledge base. After you have a good understanding of the community, then you will want to look at interventions. Always look for something that is evidence-based (this means that it has been shown to decrease HIV/syphilis/STD's). What works in one community isn't guaranteed to work in another, which is why the community assessment is so important.
