At the program level, we need to ensure that

Goals & Objectives  
 
 

lead clearly to

Outcomes & Impacts

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Some Definitions 

GOAL:

    A broad and sometimes ambitious statement of a desired long-term outcome of a program or condition  

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Goals 

Improve the health outcomes for HIV-infected individuals with timely diagnosis and high quality clinical management  
Increase the number of HIV infected persons who know they are infected  
Increase the proportion of HIV-infected people who are linked to appropriate prevention, care, and treatment services  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Impact Objective: 

A statement about the long-term impact (e.g., usually 5-10 years) of a program that is typically described in terms of decreases in disease morbidity or major changes in health care in a geographic region or specific target population  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Impact Objectives 

Reduce the number of new HIV cases to 25,000/yr by 2010 By June 30, 2010, increase the number of trained minority health care professionals serving HIV-infected individuals in California by 25% By 2010, increase the proportion of pregnant women who are screened for HIV prior to delivery to 99%  

    Note: Impact objectives and goals are very similar, and are often used interchangeably

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Outcome Objective 

A very specific outcome of your program, or a measured change in knowledge, attitudes/ beliefs, behaviors and/or skills of your target population (e.g., staff, clinicians, training participants, patients/clients)  

    Changes in knowledge and attitudes/beliefs are often measured on a Likert, or other type of incremental scale, before and after an intervention or training has occurred, and are indicated as % increases 

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Outcome Objectives 

By December 31, 2010, a minimum of 50% of medical providers who work in designated health care settings in high morbidity jurisdictions will increase their awareness of new HIV testing guidelines, compared to baseline data By June 30, 2008 eight community health centers in California will implement the CDC HIV testing recommendations with their primary care patients ages 13-64. By June 30, 2010, the St. James Health Center will increase the number of HIV-infected Latinos served by mental health and primary care services by 50%  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Process Objective 

A very specific activity conducted by program staff that is crucial to the accomplishment of one or more outcome objectives.  

    You typically need at least 2 process objectives to support the achievement of an outcome objective. Process objectives are usually easy to write. 

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Process Objectives 

San Francisco AETC will develop a resource and reference binder for community health centers by January 2008  
UCLA AETC will provide 6 level I or II training programs for staff at community health centers on implementation of the CDC testing recommendations by June 30, 2008  
By August 31, 2008 the California STD/HIV Prevention Training Center will deliver technical assistance to at least 20 medical providers who work in clinical settings in high-morbidity jurisdictions, to facilitate adoption of HIV testing guidelines  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Good outcome and process objectives are SMART 
 

                S 00specific

                M 00measurable

                A 00 attainable

                R 00realistic

                T 00 time-bound 

 
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Activities or Key Action Steps 

Specific action steps implemented by program staff and/or faculty to accomplish process objectives.  
Each process objective should have several corresponding activities.  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Activities or Action Steps 

    Process Objective: San Francisco AETC will develop a resource and reference binder for community health centers by January 2008

Action Steps

Program Director will research existing resource material on HIV testing developed for CHC settings Program Director will develop referral list of training and TA resources for California  
 

M e m b e r o f t h e U C S F A I D S R e s e a r c h I n s t i t u t e 

Examples of Activities or Action Steps 

    Process Objective: By August 31, 2008 the CA PTC  
will deliver technical assistance to at least 20 medical providers who work in clinical settings within high-morbidity jurisdictions to facilitate adoption of HIV testing guidelines
