Parents\u2019 perceptions of, and satisfaction with, the new service were higher than the provincial average. Qualitative data from interviews with parents and service providers supported the findings from standardized measures, and provided suggestions for future service delivery.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2003<\/jats:bold> The programme logic model provided researchers and service providers a collaborative and systematic approach to conducting programme evaluation in a relatively short\u2010time frame. It appears to be a useful option for evaluation of other children's services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2004.00441.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,20]],"date-time":"2004-08-20T11:00:28Z","timestamp":1092999628000},"page":"453-462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Evaluating children's rehabilitation services: an application of a programme logic model"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Law","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Hanna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7870\/cjcmh-2000-0004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","volume-title":"Children with Disabilities in Ontario: A Profile of Children's Services (FCS\u2010II).","author":"Canchild Centre for Childhood Disability Research","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","volume-title":"Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health.","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"421","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03403919","article-title":"Using a program logic model that focuses on performance measurement to develop a program","volume":"88","author":"Dwyer J.
