Abstract
A model is presented for developing an evaluation of community mental health systems of care for children. This model is divided into three stages. The first, the Program Stage, examines the clients served, ser vice components received, and level of consumer satisfaction. The seco nd, the Effectiveness Stage, analyzes the impact of the service system on the clients it serves, and the Impact Stage, the system changes th at may occur due to the operation of a community-based system of care. Several measures and instruments are suggested for use.
