8. How data/information would be produced during or after the activity

Get people to fill out questionnaires at the end of the football game with a series of different questions. Also to ask some people to answer surveys. I will also interview a few people on how they thought about the advert on testicular cancer.

9. The planned evaluation of the event which includes reference to the principle of good practice

Qualitative research I got people to answer questionnaires, surveys and interviewed a few people. I would also use primary research when figuring out if my campaign was successful or not. If I was to redo this campaign I would advertise on advertisement boards in colleges, schools and workplaces. I would also advertise on the television and try and get a famous football player to endorse my campaign.
