The field of evaluation has grown and continues to develop into a field of many facets. Several aspects of the field are easily divisible into three categories: Values, Methods and Use. Of the three categories, the valuing branch places great focus on an evaluators ability to place value on their findings while also selecting which outcomes to further examine. Much like the evaluation process, the Urban Options Projects incorporates a level of importance for value. Not only does the program seek to improve the level of assistance to youth within the Lafayette County community, the program seeks to conduct an external evaluation to ensure that the comprehensive program is impacting the lives of students around.…
Program evaluation is a system that measures the effectiveness and efficiency of a program or a policy, through collecting and analyzing data and information. Program evaluations are used to determine whether or not a policy or program is worth it. Originally in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the approach to social problem solving was through operations research and planning programming budgeting systems. During President John F. Kennedy and President Johnson’s terms, there was the antipoverty movement that served as the pushing factor of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.

In the recent years there has been an increase in the use of Opioids. I would not have realized how big the drug epidemic was if I had not taken the Addiction and Substance Abuse weekend intensive here at the School of Social Work. Throughout the three-day weekend we learned about many different addictions, but one day focused on drug courts and substance abuse and I knew I wanted to learn more. I choose to focus on prescription drugs, mainly opioids, because of how readily available these drug are.…

The information from the analysis is use to keep stakeholders and project managers aware of the project’s progress. They then in turn make decisions base off of the relayed information.…
