Purchase options and add-ons

Despite the increasing necessity for needs assessments in a variety of fields, much confusion still prevails on how to conduct such assessments successfully. This book is a practical guide to that end.

The authors first introduce a three-phase model - preassessment, assessment and postassessment - to clarify the distinctions between the needs of primary service recipients and the people and resources that exist. They go on to describe methods appropriate for gathering data for assessing needs and for causal analysis. The presentation of the framework, the coverage of several approaches for analyzing data, the balanced description of qualitative and quantitative methodologies and the multiple case studies and

4.0 out of 5 stars More than I needed to know
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
I need to conduct a community needs assessment and this book told me every possible way to do this. Unfortunately, it does not consider directly the scenario of having to conduct one of these by a public agency with limited resources, but it gave me sufficient information to figure out the steps I could omit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dense
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2003
It gets a 3 because it is full of information but no more because it is a dense and dreary text. Reading the postscript a few times helps put it in perspective but that is no substitute for good editing. The "practical guide" subtitle is not appropriate.
