Direct linkRosas, Scott R.; Kane, Mary – Evaluation and Program Planning, 2012
The use of concept mapping in research and evaluation has expanded dramatically over the past 20 years. Researchers in academic, organizational, and community-based settings have applied concept mapping successfully without the benefit of systematic analyses across studies to identify the features of a methodologically sound study. Quantitative…

This paper reflects on a process evaluation of a home visitation programme in South Africa. The programme, implemented in two low-income communities, focused on the reduction of risks to unintentional childhood injuries. The evaluation comprised a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including observations in conjunction with an…

Peer reviewedShadish, William R., Ed.; And Others – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1995
The five articles of this special section focus on the quantitative-qualitative debate in program evaluation. This section focuses on philosophical aspects of program evaluation, making it clear that the issues are far more complex than the simple quantitative-qualitative dichotomy described by T. S. Kuhn (1970) implies. (SLD)

Kutash, Krista; Banks, Steve; Duchnowski, Albert; Lynn, Nancy – Evaluation and Program Planning, 2007
Evaluating school-based mental health services for children and youth with emotional disturbance (ED) has been a challenge for researchers. One particular challenge is the study design of using the student as the statistical unit of analysis, which in certain cases may lead to a violation of the "independence of error" assumption.…

Peer reviewedWambach, Kathryn G. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1999
Illustrates the usefulness of "tree-generating" statistics for public sector service planning, focusing on the use of Automatic Interaction Detection, an early version of tree-generating statistics, to provide a model for the data analysis needed to plan substance abuse programs on a local level.

Peer reviewedNagel, Stuart S. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1987
This article shows how microcomputer software can help in overcoming key methological problems in program/policy evaluation by: (1) paired comparisons; (2) sensitivity analysis to deal with missing information; (3) allocation percentages to deal with multiple alternatives; (4) sub-optimizing to deal with conflicting constraints; and (5) decision…

Patient Satisfaction with Outpatient Psychiatric Services: Qualitative and Quantitative Assessments.
Peer reviewedPerreault, Michel; And Others – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1993
Quantitative and qualitative measures of patient satisfaction with psychiatric outpatient services were compared in interviews with 263 outpatients. Results indicate that expressions of dissatisfaction appear mainly in open-ended questions. Focus on the questions and acceptability of the data gathering procedure appears to influence responses…

Peer reviewedDennis, Michael L.; And Others – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1994
Some specific opportunities and techniques are described for combining and integrating qualitative and quantitative methods from the design stage of a substance abuse program evaluation through implementation and reporting. The multiple problems and requirements of such an evaluation make integrated methods essential. (SLD)

Peer reviewedFitz, Don; Tryon, Warren W. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1989
Methods of using simplified time series analysis (STSA) in evaluating clinical programs are discussed. STSA assists in addressing problems of attrition/augmentation of subjects in programs with changing populations. Combining individually calculated "C" statistics in a simple aggregate analysis of restraint usage by nursing home staff…

Peer reviewedLoos, Gregory P. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1995
This article describes a series of qualitative and quantitative methods used to test a community-based needs assessment model that is bias free and socioculturally relevant for indigenous populations. Results of a field test involving 100 Hawaiian children are presented, and implications for policy formation are discussed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedMcLinden, Daniel J.; Jinkerson, Darryl L. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1994
Two case studies, a study of retention of health care personnel and a study of internal organizational communication, are presented that illustrate the application of multidimensional unfolding (MDU) and mapping to organizational concerns. This approach to multivariate analysis allows clients and stakeholders to picture the results of complex…

Peer reviewedRusson, Craig; Koehly, Laura M. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1995
A scale was developed for measuring the persuasive impact of qualitative and quantitative evaluation reports on decision makers. Using two exploratory (n=192 graduate and undergraduate students) and two confirmatory (n=200 administrators) samples, researchers developed a 28-item Likert-type scale that demonstrated high reliability and validity.…
