Careful evaluation of programs designed to prevent and manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is critical to ensuring that the programs are achieving their desired objectives and goals.
This module provides methods and considerations for conducting evaluations of programs designed to prevent and manage COPD.
