barriers to changing the behaviors and environmental factors you identified in Phase 3. In these two phases, you plan the intervention. In Phase 5, administrative and policy diagnosis, you identify (and adjust where necessary) the internal administrative issues and internal and external policy issues that can affect the successful conduct of the intervention. Those administrative and policy concerns include generating the funding and other resources for the intervention. In Phase 6, implementation, you carry out the intervention. In Phase 7, process evaluation, you evaluate the process of the intervention i.e., you determine whether the intervention is proceeding according to plan, and adjust accordingly. In Phase 8, impact evaluation, you evaluate whether the intervention is having the intended impact on the behavioral and environmental factors its aimed at, and adjust accordingly. In Phase 9, outcome evaluation, you evaluate whether the interventions effects are in turn producing the outcome(s) the community identified in Phase 1, and adjust accordingly.
