Needs Assessment Phase I: Getting Started (Book 2)

"The Authors have done a good job of conveying the nuts and bolts of the process and problem situations that can arise from political and social conditions."
―Stephanie Brzuzy, Xavier University

"The authors offer a nice overview of the process involved in developing and conducting needs assessments. They make a cogent argument for the importance of identifying and addressing potential barriers to conducting a worthwhile needs assessment."
―Melanie Otis, University of Kentucky

Although this book can be used in a stand-alone fashion, it is part of the Needs Assessment KIT―five interrelated and sequenced books that take the reader through the needs assessment process (ISBN: 978-0-7619-2595-8).

James W. Altschuld, PhD, is Professor Emeritus at The Ohio State University where he taught program evaluation, needs assessment, and research methods. He has published and presented extensively in the field of evaluation particularly with regard to how needs are assessed.
