  2. ABSTRACT

  3. BACKGROUND: Practice Setting • Description of agency • [Public or private agency] • [Services provided] • [Service area] • [Location of office(s)] • Description of program/division/section • [Population(s) served] • [Service(s) provided]

  4. BACKGROUND: Problem(s) • [Primary problem facing agency/prog clients] • [Secondary problem facing agency/prog clients] • [Tertiary problem facing agency/prog clients] - - - - - - - - - - • [Types] • [Prevalence] • [Causes] • [Common treatment/intervention approaches]

  5. BACKGROUND: Intervention • [Intervention/advanced practice method being evaluated] • [Voluntary vs. involuntary] • [Individ vs. family vs. group] • [Single session/crisis intervention vs. multiple session] • [At agency vs. in-home/community] • Key elements • [Element #1] • [Element #2] • [Etc.]

  6. Figure 1. (Local) Intervention Theory • Increased [faculty] social support • Increased well-being • Decreased stress • Key intervention elements • Express interest • Validate feelings • Share thoughts, suggestions • Encourage contact with field liaison • Improve teaching, class as-needed • 1-5 rating of overall well-being

  7. BACKGROUND: Theory of Change • [Theory(ies) supporting intervention] • [Brief description] • [Explanation of why/how theory key elements of intervention]

  8. Figure 2. C-CEP/Logic Model Elements • Intermediate Outcomes • Long-term Outcome • Condition • Objective 2 • Goal • Objective 1 • Problem • Financial insolvency • New job • HH income >300/wk • Decreased psychological stress • Operational measure? • Increased sexual satisfaction • Operational measure? • Increased well-being of marriage relationship • Operational measure? • Targets • Propositions & Theories • Assumptions • [Specify theory(ies)] • Inputs, Activities & Outputs • Intervention-related activities • [Specify intervention]

  9. METHODS: Clients • [Client/case #1] • [Client/case #2] • [Etc.] - - - - - - - - - - • Alias/initials • Demographics • Presenting problem(s)

  10. METHODS: Measures • [Outcomes: outcome domains/concepts and quantifiable measures to be graphed on y-axis] • [Incl. measurement scale – e.g., 1-5, 0-30, yes/no] • [Intervention: unit of time on x-axis] • [Goal attainment (*) measure(s): overall quantitative rating and/or qualitative explanation]

  11. METHODS: Design • [Specify letters – e.g., “(A)B*”] • [Describe, define each letter (one per bullet) such that average helping professional, client, family member etc. may understand]

  12. METHODS: Data Collection • [Overall description of logistical details for collecting outcome measures data to be graphed and goal attainment data] • [Data source(s)] • [Collection/compilation time points (e.g., at beginning or end of each day, week in field] • [Instrument(s): print log, Excel spreadsheet] • [Data entry, updating of Excel file in Carmen…for review and monitoring by instructor]

  13. METHODS: Analysis • [Analysis method(s) for client outcomes/graph data (e.g., Trend Analysis for all + Non-overlapping for those able to collect daily data] • [Confirmatory reporting of goal attainment data to help interpret graphed outcomes data]

  14. Figure 3. Client Outcomes Excellent Good Average Fair Poor

  15. RESULTS: Graphed Outcomes Data • [“Story” told by trend lines (and non-overlapping, if applicable) from Results graphs] • [Possibly one bulleted summary per outcome]

  16. RESULTS: Goal Attainment Data • [Quantitative rating(s) (e.g., 1-5)] • [Overall…and possibly specific areas/topics/issues] • [Qualitative “themes”, reasons, etc. which emerged from explanations of ratings provided by clients while discussing graphed outcomes vs. current life experience]

  17. DISCUSSION: Support for Intervention • [Overall level of support for intervention based on results(e.g., none, weak, medium, strong) • [Provision of specific facts/results supporting overall level of support claim made above]

  18. DISCUSSION: Alternative Explanations • [1st alternative explanation of observed results] • [2nd alternative explanation] • [3rd alternative explanation] - - - - - - - - - - • [Naturally occurring “regression to mean”, or normal, after time of crisis, episode, etc.] • [Invalid, possibly over simplistic, measures] • [Insufficient time and/or intensity of intervention to observe change within 10-week eval period] • [Insufficient or unavail. baseline data to compare]

  19. DISCUSSION: Implications for Practice • [Lessons learned and/or questions raised for your own professional practice from these practice evaluation data]
