Program evaluation of Texas mental health and mental retardation centers. 1975

R J Winn, and C C Rich, and J R Dolby, and J A King, and S Pinder

The diversity of programs offered by the 24 mental health and mental retardation centers in Texas required that program evaluation take a management-by-objectives approach, with each center examined as a unique system with its own goals, techniques, and activities. The approach required the centers to develop statements of management objectives, which they did with varying degrees of success. The evaluations were carried out by site-visit teams. The authors describe the evaluation process, the difficulties encountered, and some of the beneficial effects.
