It contains over 30 separate resources that can be adapted to specific evaluations (e.g., sample youth and adult participant feedback sheets, sample classroom observation sheets and teacher implementation logs, sample en-route participant feedback, sample teacher surveys of curriculum content, data summary logs, sample student risk surveys, and sample parent consent forms). There are also guidelines, glossaries, and advice on online funding. The 12 chapters are: (1) "Getting Started: Establishing Your Work Group"; (2) "Writing Goals and Objectives"; (3) "Program Review, Selection, and Implementation"; (4) "Creating Homegrown Programs: Elements of Effective Prevention"; (5)"Additional Data Collection: Preparing for Assessment of Program Effectiveness"; (6) "Self-Report Questionnaires and Focus Groups: Collecting Information From Students"; (7) "Cost and Time Effectiveness"; (8) "Experimental Design: The Basics"; (9) "Experimental Designs for Different Program Types"; (10) "Crunching Your Numbers and Organizing Your Data"; (11) "Public Presentation of Your Results"; and (12) "Troubleshooting Your Results."
