the help of college students and geriatric patients the goal is to
evaluate the measuring of depression. “self-report rating
inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms
of depression” (Beck, et al., 1961).
3. How would you assess the evaluation design?
To assess the evaluation design, I would first take a look at the
case study and looking at the methods, data collected and by
who to assess counselor should do a pretest and posttest for
randomly assigned. The assess evaluation is to determine the
program effectiveness by looking at both graph
4. What information can you determine from the data you have
been provided?
I can determine the numerical that are collected, patterns, and
also how well and the changes in the data from the participants.
Minimal range score 0-13, mild range score 14-19, moderate
score 20-28, severe range score 29-63. (back depression
inventory,2011). In group one the answers are more challenging
compared to group 2 where they are starting to make more sense
of life. For example, one participant answer was, “ my life is
not lonely anymore”
5. How many data sources (and what types of data) are you
working with (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, text, photo,
etc.)?
Working with text data, demographic data, and nominal data,
6. Based on what you know, is the assessment instrument valid
and reliable?
The assessment is valid according to the information given
because the information is accurate, but not reliable because
there was no consistent of participants scores provided
7. What statistical computations would you run on the

4. quantitative data?
A. Conduct the following three analyses on the test scores and
the descriptive data:
1. Mean
2. Median

in conducting on the quantitative data.
A: mean g1 pre-test=31 g1 post-test 24 G2 post-test=33
G2pre-test=32.
Median G1 pretest =28. G2 pretest =33 g1 post-test =23 g2post
test=30.
Mode g1 pretest=0 g2 pretest=33. G1posttest=23. G2
posttest=30
B: questionnaires,
survey collected or statistical data, number of times particular
value is observed
8. What information can you derive from the answers that group
members provided to the open-ended questions?
A. Do you notice any trends in the data?
B. Is any of the text data incongruent with the numeric data?
A: From the information given the seem to be a pattern,
participants in group 2 answers are show that they are more
hopeful compared to group 1 a lot of negative self-thoughts in
group 1. A lot of short answers in both groups.
B: a lot of participants in the survey answers were different
some felt fine and others were not. In the post test many were
scoring higher than others and some had none. It was a different
age group
Reflection:Complete this section individually. Include it in your

5. final submission.
What were your contributions to this assignment?
Completed 2 questions and we did the last two together. I
helped come up with the accurate answers and worked together
as a team to come up with the best time that works for all party
involved
What challenges did your group experience?
I think the challenge we experienced as a group was
understanding the project in general. It was very blurry to us
and the expectations in what to past in and the steps to take
toward completing the worksheet
How might the insights you gained while working with this
small group help you in your work as a counselor?
Although this is not my first time working in a group, I think it
just helps my communication skills, and understanding that
everyone has different learning skills. It will be helpful in
counseling because as a counselor we have to adjust and
understand not all clients will be the same some will be more
challenging than others.
Describe how your understanding of the role of a program
evaluation in clinical practice changed, as well as the change in
your own preparedness to evaluate the effectiveness of your
clinical work.
It changed because at first, I thought were going to conduct
meso skill counseling skill. I think one of the things I can do
better prepared is to read the work over and over prior to
starting my session and come in early

Data:
1. Beck Depression Inventory
Description of Measure: The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures
characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression (Beck, et
al., 1961). The BDI has been developed in different forms,
including several computerized forms, a card form, the 13-item
short form, and the more recent BDI-11 by Beck and Brown
(May, Urquhart, & Tarran, 1969, cited in Groth-Marnat, 1990;
see Steer, Rissmiller, & Beck, 2000, for information on the

7. clinical utility of the BDI-11.) The BDI takes approximately 10
minutes to complete, although clients require a fifth- to sixth-
grade reading level to adequately understand the questions
(Groth-Marnat, 1990). Internal consistency for the BDI ranges
from .73 to .92, with a mean of .86 (Beck, Steer, & Garbin,
1988). Similar reliabilities have been found for the 13-item
short form (Groth-Marnat, 1990). The BDI demonstrates high
internal consistency, with alpha coefficients of .86 and .81 for
psychiatric and nonpsychiatric populations, respectively (Beck
et al., 1988).
