| Summary: | A notable volume focusing on prevention and evaluation, this book contends that human services must become more accountable to the public and the government by undertaking more efficient and accurate evaluations and being able to support their claims for continued services with accurate studies. The importance of a carefully tailored program design, well-chosen measuring instruments, follow-up assessment, and insistence on control groups for comparison in any study are major topics. |
