Program Evaluation for Social Workers: Foundations of Evidence-Based Programs

by Richard M. Grinnell Jr., Peter A. Gabor, Yvonne A. Unrau

This text presents a practical and tested approach of how to do case- and program-level evaluations within social service programs. It provides an unintimidating conceptual understanding of how programs can become more accountable by incorporating uncomplicated evaluation strategies into their
day-to-day service delivery activities.

With the above in mind, this edition has been completely updated, revised (some chapters have been totally rewritten), and re-arranged in an effort to present the essential ingredients for programs to become evidence based. The result is a text eminently suited for social work program evaluation
courses, administration courses, program planning courses, and program design courses.

This is a pretty solid book with very valuable info if you are working in organizing.

Well researched and organized text with easy to reproduce diagrams. The comics about stuff like psychoanalysis and its lack of scientific integrity would be funnier if were weren't learning how to more effectively cook the books for program funding.

Very well written book. Made research easier.

I'm admittedly jaded from the professor of the course, so that being said, I felt this text, like the professor was "meh."
