Hser, Yih-Ing; Stein, Judith A.; Polinsky, Margaret L.; Maglione, Margaret A.

Evaluation and Program Planning, v21 n1 p1-10 Feb 1998

The influence of program-related constructs on perceived quality of treatment programs was assessed using a latent variable modeling approach and the responses of key personnel from 294 drug treatment facilities in Los Angeles County (California). A clear philosophy and emphasis and greater frequency of services significantly predicted greater perceived quality of the program. (SLD)
