Family-based service (FBS) programs have been developing rapidly
across the country at a time of increasingly scarce human resources
and in a politically volatile climate. Such a context has made
evaluation of such programs imperative. The present volume reviews
basic elements of evaluation in the light of current knowledge and
then highlights the most useful research instruments for measuring
changes in child and family functioning. Chapters focus on
evaluation methods that can be employed to determine the success of
existing policy and to influence the development of new policy. The
authors assume that their readers will have a basic familiarity
with research methods and program evaluation. They discuss the
challenges they have encountered in conducting extensive research
on family preservation, family support. and other related programs
and pose practical solutions for administrators, practitioners, and
evaluators confronted with similar difficult issues. Each chapter
presents a brief conceptual framework for understanding issues
related to assessment. Essential elements are reviewed, while
research design, measurement variables, and qualitative and
quantitative analyses are discussed in turn. The book concludes
with a review of the limitations of evaluations.
