Abstract		A public health intervention is an intervention which is applied to many, most, or all members of a community, with the aim of delivering a net benefit to the community or population as well as benefits to individuals. Every intervention programme has its cycle. One of the most important phases in this cycle is the evaluation phase. Slovenia as a state officially joined international CINDI programme at the beginning of the 1990s, when its activities were limited to Ljubljana demonstrational area. First few years were used as an introductory period of the programme, while more systematically organized activities begun in the late 1990s. The case study presents the different types of evaluation and, as an illustration, the case of evaluating the effectiveness of the CINDI programme activities in Slovenia for reduction of arterial hypertension.
