Your organization hires you to conduct a formative evaluation of a
new informatics intervention. Which areas would you focus on in a
formative evaluation?
Selected a.
Answer: Intervention fidelity, implementation quality, and
types of personnel
Response A formative evaluation is an assessment of how well a
Feedback: program is being implemented. Intervention fidelity,
implementation quality, and types of personnel are areas
that would be focused on in formative evaluation.
Results of the formative evaluation are used as feedback
to the program for continuous improvement.

The “butterfly effect” describes a situation in which a minor change in
input (eg, a butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world) can
have a major effect on output (eg, a windstorm developing in another
part of the world). This aspect of chaotic systems illustrates their
property of:
Selected Answer: c.
the fractionation of outputs.
Response Chaotic systems are dynamic systems with reiterative
Feedback: feedback loops. A minor change in input can create a
major change in output. This is often described as the
butterfly effect. A butterfly’s flapping wings in
California can over time become a hurricane in New
York.
Question 3

Which list includes the three levels of theory relevant to evaluation?
, Selected d.
Answer: Scientific theory, implementation models, and
program theory
Response The three levels of theory relevant to evaluation are
Feedback: scientific theories, implementation models, and
program theories. The other choices are either not
theories or are specific theories, not levels of theory.
Question 4

UTAUT is a theory of:
Selected Answer: c.
acceptance and use of technology.
Response The unified theory of acceptance and use of
Feedback: technology (UTAUT) assesses factors associated with
effective use.
Question 5
1 out of 1 points
The stages of change identified in diffusion of innovation theory are:
Selected a.
Answer: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation,
and confirmation.
Response The stages of change identified in the diffusion of
Feedback: innovation theory are knowledge, persuasion, decision,
implementation, and confirmation. The stages of change
are one way to understand and evaluate how the change
has occurred.
