Program Evaluation Model
The type of evaluation that will be used for the treatment
program “Childhood Anxiety Center” will be a consumer
oriented evaluation (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, &
Campbell, 2013). This type of evaluation will relate how the
program is run and the effects of the program to the needs of the
population it is serving (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, &

3. Campbell, 2013). It will help with improvement and
accountability within the program to evaluate the changes with
the children being served.
Evaluand
The evaluand is the Childhood Anxiety Center. The children
involved in the program are those who who are between the
ages of 3 and 12 who have been diagnosed with specific anxiety
disorders. These include generalized, social, and separation
anxiety disorders. It will also welcome children with specific
phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic
stress disorder. The program will offer cognitive-behavioral
therapy, cognitive-behavioral play therapy, play therapy, and
filial therapy.
Overall Purpose and Type of Evaluation
The type of evaluation that will be used is the consumer
oriented a valuation. The overall purpose of the evaluation will
be to determine if the program is meeting the needs of the
children being served, as well as any changes that need to be
made to improve services and outcomes. These evaluations
would fall under Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, &
Campbell’s (2013) worth-focused category. T this means that
the quality of the program would be assessed with the
consideration of the needs that are being met of those being
served (Chyung, Wisniewski, Inderbitzen, & Campbell, 2013).

4. Stakeholders
The upstream stakeholders in this program would be the
individuals working with the clients, including therapists,
volunteers, and interns. It would also include the financial
donors and director/manager of the program. The downstream
stakeholders are the children who are participating in the
program as well as those who are indirectly affected, such as
parents, teachers, childcare providers, or other individuals who
have a relationship with the children.
