Abstract

In the first contribution to a new section in AJPH that will address critical methodological issues in evaluations of public health interventions, I will discuss topics in study design and analysis, covering the most innovative emerging methodologies and providing an overview of best practices. The methods considered are motivated by public health evaluations, bothdomestic and global. In this first contribution, I also define implementation science, program evaluation, impact evaluation, and costeffectiveness research, disciplines that have tremendous methodological and substantive overlap with evaluation of public health interventions-the focus of this section.
