Unemployment and foster home placements: Estimating the net effect of provocation and inhibition
OBJECTIVES: This study sought, first, to explain and reconcile the provocation and inhibition theories of the effect of rising unemployment on the incidence of antisocial behavior. Second, it tested the hypothesis, implied by the provocation and inhibition theories, that the relationship between unemployment and foster home placements forms an inverted "U." METHODS: The hypothesis was tested with data from California for 137 months beginning in F…
Screening for Depression in Primary Care Clinics: The CES-D and the BDI
The present study was undertaken to examine the utility of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as screening instruments for primary care clinic patients. We examined: 1) patients' willingness to complete the scales; 2) the level of agreement between the screening instruments and DSM-III diagnosis of Major Depressive Episode, based on the NIMH Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS); …
Characteristics of useful evaluation data: An example from community mental health centers

A Client Satisfaction Scale Suitable for Use with Hispanics
Data from a large-scale survey of community health center clients were analyzed to assess how a measure of client satisfaction operates when used with different ethnic populations. The eight-item version of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) is a measure of general satisfaction with services which was developed to provide a brief, standard assessment procedure suitable for use in a wide variety of service settings. Based on the results…

Assessment of client/patient satisfaction: Development of a general scale
A working model for mental health program evaluation
This paper describes a conceptual model of human service program evaluation, and integrates three key components of the evaluation process: a) Levels of Evaluative Activity, b) Functional Roles of the Evaluator, and c) Program Information Capability. This model has been useful in assessing evaluation capability of mental health programs, and in suggesting itineraries for enhancing evaluation capacity
