Barker, G. Patrick, December 1979 - A CLIENT-CENTERED EVALUATION OF THE SUICIDE AND CRISIS CENTER OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
Abstract: This thesis includes an historical and cross-cultural overview of suicide. It discusses the roles, functions, and major features of suicide prevention centers in our own society. One such center is the subject of an ethnographic profile - the Suicide and Crisis Center of Hillsborough County (SCCHC). The methodological, analytical, and concluding phases of a client-centered evaluative research project of the SCCHC are described. The evaluation project is based on a pre-tested questionnaire which partially measures the qualitative and quantitative success and assesses the operational modalities of the Center. Conclusions indicate that the SCCHC is providing exemplary mental health care to those utilizing its services.
