Outcome-based evaluation continues to play a central role in the larger
field of policy analysis and speaks to the needs and interests of
administrators, students, policymakers, funders, consumers, and
educators. In a thoroughgoing revision of the first edition of this
classic text and reference, published by Plenum in 1995, the author
broadens the coverage from his previous emphasis on developmental
disabilities to include other areas of human and social service delivery
such as education, health, mental health, aging, substance abuse, and
corrections.
