"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).
