This workbook is designed to build or improve the basic planning skills needed by persons responsible for program planning in alcohol service agencies. An understanding of the generic planning process in the development or expansion of community alcoholism-realted services can be acquired through the use of this guide. The workbook attempts to lead participants to define and identify examples of all four components in the planning process; i.e., assessment, program design, implementation, and evaluation. The workbook also leads participants to use the planning process on a given community problem within a simulatd community. This skill is then applied to an action plan for a problem area identified in advance by the participant. (Author/PJC)
