Preserving Families: Evaluation Resources for Practitioners and Policymakers

by Ying-Ying T. Yuan (Editor), Michele Rivest (Editor)

Overview

The evaluation of social programmes for families and children that focus on keeping the family intact - rather than those that emphasize removing the child from the family - is discussed in this volume. Written primarily for evaluators and administrators involved in analyzing family services, chapters raise issues pertinent to the design of both comprehensive and special focus studies.
