Area of Science:

  • Health Education
  • Program Evaluation
  • Communication Skills Training

Background:

  • Quality assurance is crucial for health promotion programs.
  • Peer educators require effective presentation skills for program success.
  • Standardized evaluation methods ensure consistent assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the presentation skills of peer health educators.
  • To identify areas for improvement in educator performance.
  • To establish a benchmark for acceptable performance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a reliable instrument to assess knowledge, delivery, and sensitivity.
  • Employed a 4-point Likert-type scale for skill rating.
  • Observed and reviewed 18 workshops conducted by 24 peer educators.

Main Results:

  • Most peer educators (20 out of 24) scored above 85% competency.
  • The majority of educators exceeded 90% in overall performance.
  • Only a small percentage required remediation for presentation skills.

Conclusions:
