It takes readers through the entire research process, step by step, starting with the literature review on the nature of the behavior being served, to the development of their study methods, to the statistical analysis of data using the internet and, finally, to the drawing of conclusions based on the outcome study that was conducted. When readers complete this book, they will be prepared to conduct an outcome evaluation study and to present a report to their agencies or instructors. Key distinctions of this text include: guides for analysis of data using Excel, the internet or SPSS for statistical analysis of data; the separation of content into basic concepts and intermediate concepts for use in beginning and intermediate courses in human service research methods; an instructor's manual that offers outlines, lists, and test questions additional to those in the text; a student workbook with practice assignments for use in courses as well as a set of checklists that serve as a guide for various tasks in the research process; and objectives, summaries, and tests in all chapters. Evaluating Human Service Outcomes could be used as the basic text for a beginning course in human service research in educational programs in social work, counseling, and psychology where a major goal is to complete a research study. It could also be used as a supplemental text for advanced research courses that include the analysis of data. The text also should be of interest to human service practitioners who are working in programs funded by grants that require outcome evaluation. 606 $aSocial service$xResearch 606 $aSocial psychiatry 606 $aSocial service 606 $aPsychology 606 $aCounseling 606 $aSocial Work Research 606 $aClinical Social Work 606 $aTheory and Method in Social Work 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aCounseling Psychology 606 $aTreball social$2thub 606 $aMetodologia de les ciències socials$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aSocial service$xResearch. 615 0$aSocial psychiatry. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aCounseling. 615 14$aSocial Work Research. 615 24$aClinical Social Work. 615 24$aTheory and Method in Social Work. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aCounseling Psychology. 615 7$aTreball social 615 7$aMetodologia de les ciències socials 676 $a361 700 $aYork$b Reginald O.$f1942-$01335538 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910616393603321 996 $aEvaluating human service outcomes$93049602 997 $aUNINA
