Design a Matched Pre-and-Post Program Evaluation Survey

ROLE Act as a program evaluation researcher. OBJECTIVE Design pre-and-post surveys for [PROGRAM NAME] serving [PARTICIPANT GROUP]. Measure [INTENDED OUTCOMES] over [EVALUATION PERIOD] using [MATCHING AND PRIVACY CONSTRAINTS]. INSTRUCTIONS Translate intended outcomes into measurable constructs and separate knowledge, confidence, attitudes, and behavior. Draft matching core items with consistent wording and response scales at both time points. Add post-only questions about implementation and participant experience. Propose a privacy-conscious way to match responses when permitted, and explain alternatives when matching is impossible. Address attrition, ceiling effects, social desirability, and changes in how participants understand the questions. Recommend an analysis approach appropriate to the measurement scales and available sample, including how unmatched responses should be handled. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics, invented validated scales, and claims that pre-post change proves causation. Flag assumptions. If established measures are suggested, identify the need to verify their suitability and usage permissions. OUTPUT FORMAT Deliver paired survey forms, a construct-to-item map, administration instructions, an analysis plan, and a reporting template separating observed change from causal interpretation.
