Competency IX
Evaluate practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities
I will properly evaluate outcomes and the effectiveness of practice by using all feedback, observations, or data that I have.
Practice Behaviors:
- Select and use appropriate methods for evaluation of outcomes
- Apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person-in-environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks in the evaluation of outcomes.
- Critically analyze, monitor, and evaluate intervention and program processes and outcomes.
- Apply evaluation findings to improve practice effectiveness at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.

In week 5 of my Addictions course I conducted an analysis on the outcome of giving up one of my addictions (cell phone). In my statistics class hypothetical experiments were conducted and then the outcomes were analyzed. There were numerous examples in my practicum of conducting analysis of data, primarily of data collecting during both the psycho-social questionnaires and the interview portions.
