Using Predictive Evaluation to Design, Evaluate, and Improve Training for Polio Volunteers.

Background: Predictive Evaluation (PE) uses a four-step process to predict results then designs and evaluates a training intervention accordingly. In 2012, the Sustainable Management Development Program (SMDP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used PE to train Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) program volunteers.

Methods: Stakeholders defined specific beliefs and practices that volunteers should demonstrate.
