A Case Study Of A Utilization-Focused Evaluation Involving Two Community-Based Family Services, Giles Reneacute Charbonneau
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

Results indicate that involving decision-makers from these organizations in the design and implementation of the evaluation was critical to …
