Four Frames for Choosing Performance Metrics for Child and Family Service Programs
This article provides guidance for child and family service organizations seeking to develop useful performance metrics for their programs. It describes four frames for this work, based on strategic planning, decision points, logic modeling, and implementation science. These four frameworks are applied to two cases, an afterschool program and a therapeutic foster care program. Additional considerations are provided for reducing potential metrics …

If We're Going to Change Things, It Has to Be Systemic
Communities that undertake systems change in accordance with the system of care philosophy commit to creating new systems entities for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance. These new entities are values‐based, voluntary, and cross‐agency alliances that include formal child‐serving entities, youth, and families. Describing the scope and intent of one such implementation of systems of care, a mental health administrator comme…
Nonlinearity in Social Service Evaluation
Measurement of nonlinearity in social service research and evaluation relies primarily on spatial analysis and, to a lesser extent, social network analysis. Recent advances in geographic methods and computing power, however, allow for the greater use of simulation methods. These advances now enable evaluators and researchers to simulate complex adaptive systems (CASs) by applying agent-based modeling (ABM). CASs reflect the interactions of compet…
Changes in the Composition of the Homeless Population
This study examines changes in the characteristics of the homeless population before and after a period of extended economic expansion (1992–2002). Data from other sources suggest that, during this 10‐year period, the size of the overall population of homeless persons may have declined slightly, though not significantly, both in the city studied and nationally. In‐depth surveys of representative samples of homeless adults ( N = 249 in 1992–94; N …
Perceived strengths of urban girls and boys experiencing homelessness
Homelessness, with concomitant poverty and mobility, is often associated with multiple negative outcomes for school‐aged children; less is known about the positive characteristics of children experiencing homelessness. This study focused on understanding the mother‐perceived strengths of 50 elementary school‐aged children experiencing homelessness. Mothers typically identified multiple child strengths, even among children experiencing emotional o…
The “Big Tent” of Community Psychology
This article summarizes discussions that took place following Paul Toro's presidential address for the Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA). Toro argued that community psychology and SCRA are "big tents." He suggested growth through increasing the involvement of ethnic minorities, community practitioners, international colleagues, students and early career professionals and individuals from allied disciplines. Themes in the discussion…
