A pilot program was conducted and evaluated as a part of the development of a health education program designed to meet the needs of a specified target population. By focusing on a group of children with a common chronic health problem, it was possible to measure specific variables to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Outcome evaluation together with subjective process information resulted in modification and changes in the program prior to implementation with a larger number of children and schools. The pilot phase conducted with a small number of children was demonstrated to be a critical part of the overall program development.
作为一项旨在满足特定目标人群需求的健康教育项目开发的一部分，开展并评估了一个试点项目。通过关注一群患有常见慢性健康问题的儿童，能够测量特定变量以评估该项目的有效性。在与更多儿童和学校实施该项目之前，结果评估与主观过程信息一起导致了项目的修改和变化。事实证明，对少数儿童进行的试点阶段是整个项目开发的关键部分。
