This article presents the results of the qualitative component of a comprehensive evaluation of a state hepatitis prevention and control program. The qualitative component of the evaluation was designed to assess the motivational factors behind clients seeking hepatitis-related services and explore their experiences with the services provided by local health departments. The transtheoretical model was employed as a means of identifying the stage of change the client was in and what processes of change were useful in moving the client through the various stages of change. Focus groups were conducted with 44 participants in six different counties in Florida. Results of the focus group interviews support the use of the transtheoretical model in program evaluation using focus group methods. The findings of the focus groups suggest the need for education of the public and health care providers regarding hepatitis and the importance of supportive relationships to clients seeking and receiving hepatitis screening and vaccination.
本文介绍了对一项州级肝炎防控项目进行全面评估的定性部分的结果。评估的定性部分旨在评估客户寻求肝炎相关服务背后的动机因素，并探索他们在当地卫生部门提供的服务方面的经历。采用跨理论模型来确定客户所处的改变阶段，以及哪些改变过程有助于客户在不同的改变阶段取得进展。在佛罗里达州六个不同县对44名参与者进行了焦点小组访谈。焦点小组访谈的结果支持在使用焦点小组方法进行项目评估时运用跨理论模型。焦点小组的调查结果表明，有必要对公众和医疗服务提供者进行肝炎教育，以及建立支持性关系对于寻求和接受肝炎筛查及疫苗接种的客户的重要性。
