The evaluation questions are as follows:
Who is receiving SAFE STEPs messaging?
What are the population characteristics of those who are receiving SAFE STEPs messaging?
To what extent are beneficiaries retaining the lessons from the awareness campaigns?
Do recipients of the campaign report improved awareness of safe driving, motorcycle, and pedestrian practices?
Are beneficiaries changing behaviors in response to messages?
To what extent do beneficiaries apply relevant behaviors in their everyday life?
Is the SAFE STEPs messaging associated with improved behaviors conveyed in the awareness campaign?
