Self-evaluation shows...

• A. Shows clients they are a part of the health promotion team.
• B. Shows external stakeholders the program's failures.
• C. Shows only quantitative data.
• D. Shows the program's financial performance.

Answer: (A)

Self-evaluation that treats clients as partners demonstrates a collaborative, client-centered approach where those served help judge the program’s progress and impact. When clients are included as part of the health promotion team, their lived experiences, needs, and feedback guide what gets measured and how success is defined. This fosters ownership, trust, and relevance, making the evaluation more meaningful and useful for ongoing improvement. The idea is to empower participants and reflect real-world outcomes from those who experience the program, rather than focusing on external judgments, only numbers, or financial results.
