Families who complete the Safe Families program are checked to see if there have been any subsequent reports to the child abuse hotline. This check is done quarterly. Outcome 6 (improve on post test score) : is measured by the AAPI (Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory) which is a nationally accepted standardized test that measures parent attitudes and beliefs . Low scores are associated with an increased risk of abuse; high scores are associated with a lower risk of abuse . The test is administered during intake, and prior to closure. Outcome 7 (knowledge gained from parentinggroups) : is measured by administering survey questions to group participants at the end of each parenting class. The questions will relate directly to the topic presented. Other data collected include satisfaction surveys from all clients , and completion of family plan goals for each family. 3. REPORTING : What will you do with this information to show that change has occurred? How will you use or present these results to the consumer, the funder, the program, and the community ? How will you use this information to improve your program? Information collected is used to measure the progress of enrolled families, and to help determine the length and content of the intervention. Families are aware of their progress on the AAPI, risk/protective factor checklist, and family plan goals and counselors utilize their progress to motivate participants . The CASTLE operates under a Continuous Quality Improvement model (CQI). The outcomes of all programs are reviewed quarterly through a "Service Delivery" committee. The Service Delivery committee then recommends program improvements which are implemented by the Program Manager. Results from collected information are reported to funders on a regular basis through monthly, quarterly or semi-annual reports . Staff, Board members, and other stakeholders are made aware of results through the CQI process, and feedback at all-team and Board meetings. The community is made aware of results through an annual report. Later this year, the program is participating in a national study of the Safe Families model of home based parent education. 12
