o What type of evaluation are you proposing (formative, process, outcome, etc.)? <\/span>Needs assessment<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

A needs assessment is a process for determining the needs, otherwise known as “gaps,” between current and desired outcomes. When used properly, this assessment provides valuable insight into your team\u2019s processes and highlights areas for efficiency improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\uf0b7 Provide a thorough discussions of peer-reviewed literature relevant to the proposed<\/span><\/p>\n

evaluation. Include all sections below.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

a. Problem theory: What are the underlying causes of the problem that are addressed by<\/span><\/p>\n

the program? <\/span>PTSD<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Acknowledge other underlying causes, but focus on those relevant to the<\/span><\/p>\n

program. This section describes *why* the problem occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

b. Change theory: How can the specific problem theory described above be changed?<\/span><\/p>\n

How do changes occur to produce the desired outcome? Focus specifically on change<\/span><\/p>\n

theory(ies) addressed by the program. This section describes *how* the program<\/span><\/p>\n

attempts to address the problem theory described above.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

c. Other evaluations. What other evaluations, if any, have been done on the program\/<\/span><\/p>\n

practice?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

d. Evidence quality. Assess the methodological quality of the evidence. Discuss the<\/span><\/p>\n

breadth of studies and their methodological rigor. How strong is the evidence supporting<\/span><\/p>\n

your intervention? What populations have been included in the research?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Note: This section is primary in demonstrating your ability to contextualize the<\/span><\/p>\n

evidence-based practices available in your area, identifying both the strengths and<\/span><\/p>\n

limitations of this evidence on effective or promising practices as well as appraising<\/span><\/p>\n

the extent of evidence supporting the practices at your agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

e. Social justice perspective on the evidence. Consider the evidence related to your<\/span><\/p>\n

program from a social justice lens. Take into consideration issues of power, privilege,<\/span><\/p>\n

and oppression when analyzing the literature.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

INTEGRATION OF THE EVIDENCE WITH PROGRAM AND CLIENT<\/span><\/p>\n

CHARACTERISTICS AND NEEDS <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

How is the information identified in the literature linked to the program\/ practice you<\/span><\/p>\n

are evaluating? How does the evidence found relate to the services provided to your clients?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

How does evidence in the literature fit with program resources, goals, and theoretical<\/span><\/p>\n

orientation of the agency and\/ or other contexts? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Describe how clients\u2019 values and preferences<\/span><\/p>\n

may fit or contrast with the evidence in the literature. To what extent does the program use<\/span><\/p>\n

approaches supported by the literature?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Consider issues of power, privilege, and oppression with regard to program<\/span><\/p>\n
