The assessment investigated several outcomes—income and housing, physical and mental health, life skills, social and assistance network—and relied on a participative mixed-method design. Although the shelter mission is broad and ambitious (i.e. autonomy, global well-being and reintegration into society), the assessment results show that the shelter struggles to have positive effects on the residents beyond the provision of basic care (a roof, food, administrative support) and that the stress felt by the residents even tends to increase during their stay. Several recommendations collectively emerged from the assessment: individualizing shelter support and making it evolve during the stay, reducing the size of the shelter while at the same time fostering community living, developing partnerships. At the public policy level, we would recommend revising the mission of long-term shelters in accordance with their means.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":"108 ","pages":"Article 102508"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142420394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific objective was to develop a robust framework for measuring the effectiveness of rural training programmes organized by the Farmers Training Centres (FTCs) of India. Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model provides us the foundation to design a four-dimensional composite framework based on range-based indicator normalization, principal component analysis based indicator weight estimation, and rank correlation based framework sensitivity testing. We used cross-sectional primary data generated through household survey and personal interviews with randomly selected one thousand trainees to test and validate our proposed protocol. Applying it on our evaluation target we find that the degree of effectiveness of the training programmes varies; one in every four training programmes may not be effective. Trainees’ reactions on various aspects of the training programmes may have positive and significant influence on learning. Training outcomes may be linked with the trainees’ post-training changes in behaviour. A sensitivity test confirms that the proposed framework is not susceptible to changes in weighting schemes, implying robustness of indicator selection. The findings offer dissection of individual training programmes guiding policy decisions for a training organization. The proposed framework enriches the Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model by offering standardized indicators for training effectiveness evaluation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 102494"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142128773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employed a static and robust panel regression model using Stata 14.0 software. Key determinants analyzed include GDP per capita, urbanization rate, and physicians per capita. Findings reveal that lower GDP per capita and lower urbanization rates are significantly correlated with higher levels of unmet healthcare needs, highlighting income level and geographical accessibility as critical factors. Additionally, a higher number of physicians per capita is associated with reduced unmet healthcare needs, indicating the importance of healthcare resources in addressing healthcare access gaps. These findings underscore the importance of targeted healthcare policies that address income level, improve healthcare accessibility, and enhance healthcare resource allocation to reduce unmet healthcare needs effectively.
