About the Book

This user-friendly workbook is invaluable to agency personnel who want to evaluate agency programs or strengthen the evaluation section of a grant proposal. The authors maintain step-by-step instructions for completing a research study or proposal, which readers claim is this book's number one strength. It simplifies complex concepts and research terminology and it explains statistical analysis and presentation from an intuitive perspective rather than a computational perspective. It includes clear language, concrete instructions, a fully annotated sample literature review, and spaces for responses. It's perfect for use at social welfare agencies or during practicum for social worker professionals just entering the field.
