CABARCAS MONTES, Fabio E e AGUDELO CALDERON, Carlos A. Indicators for evaluating the healthy cities strategy in Colombia. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2003, vol.5, n.2, pp.180-197. ISSN 0124-0064.
Objectives The work that is presented is the first phase of a scale development study. The objectives are: selecting, developing and evaluating indi- cators for the evaluation of the healthy cities project in Colombia, in order to offer the bases for the construction of a measurement scale. MethodsThe project was executed from January 2001 to August 2002. A validation by construct and an assessment of indicators, according to their importance, data availability and formulation were carried out. A theoretical heuristic model for evaluating the Colombian Healthy Cities Project was developed; based on these model 128 indicators were defined. A preliminary instrument was then made and evaluated by experts in the strategy. A test was carried out in five cities in order to test data availability and formulation. Results The final results are a heuristic model for the evaluation of the project and an evaluation of each indicator. Conclusion The final results are not finished. A greater effort is needed for developing good heuristic models and for building instruments for assessing the healthy cities project in Colombia.
