Taylor-Leaver FSC (Family Service Center): A Prototype for Program Evaluation of Navy Family Service Centers

Abstract

Implementing the program evaluation methodology developed for Navy Family Service Centers data were collected from Navy members, command leaders, career counselors, and military and civilian service providers in the catchment area served by Taylor-Leaver FSC. Service importance, utilization, and satisfaction were examined. Perceptions of psychosocial problems associated with Navy life were solicited from stakeholder groups. Results indicate that members and command leaders do not agree when ranking importance of services or seriousness of problems. Among FSC-provided services, deployment support was considered most important by member respondents, while information and referral services were utilized by the greatest number. Service needs vary among marital status groups. Command leaders perceive alcohol and drug abuse to be the most serious problems. Keywords: Family service centers, Program evaluation, Multiple stakeholder population, Military families, Human services, Single parents.
