Evaluation is a critical area of practice for demonstrating accountability to clients, communities, numerous otherstakeholders, and funding and regulatory agencies.Social Work Evaluation, Third Edition, offers a straightforward guide to a broad range of social work evaluations at both the program and practice levels. Author James R. Dudley's seven-step approach to evaluation makes use of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods to provide oversight and address important issues at the planning, implementation, and outcome stages of a program or practice intervention. His unique focus on involving clients in the evaluation processensures that social workers consistently improve their capacity to impact their clients' well-being and remain accountable to them and others they serve. Case examples from the extensive evaluation experience of the author and others illustrate a wide range of logic-based methods discussed throughout the text forreal-world application. This comprehensive text effectively aims to enhance student and practitioner skill sets to meet these demands of a changing field.","brand":"James R.
