Re: evaluation research

Dear Amy Gordon:

If you check the bibliogrpahy at our web site,  you might find some things
of general interest to you,  but nothing specifically on what you asked
about.   So why am I responding?    The main reason is that you might be
interested in the conference we are holding in July on research on
evaluation of family violence programs.   The conference is described in the
web site.    Although I think the deadline for submitting papers has just
recently passed,  it is very likely that the conference chair, David
Finkelhor,   will still be accepting papers for possbible presentation.

Sincerely,

Murray A. Straus,  Professor of Sociology

 See our web site   http://www.unh.edu/frl  for information about our Family
 Violence Research conferences and for a bibliography of Family Research

 of these are available for sale.

Subject: evaluation research


I am engaged in evaluation research of a project that aims
to promote the safety, well-being, and permanency of abused and
neglected children who are placed with relatives.   One
aspect of the study involves assessing the relative caregivers'
experiences with the child welfare agency, and I  am looking for
measures of consumer satisfaction (preferably standardized, but not
necessarily) that have been used effectively in other studies
involving kinship caregivers.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
