Qualitative and quantitative evaluation

1. Discuss the difference between qualitative and quantitative evaluation – when would you use each?
   Consider a health education program aimed to increase fruit and vegetable intake among diabetes patients.
   What kinds of questions would qualitative evaluation help you answer? What kinds of questions would
   quantitative evaluation help you answer?
2. Identify and discuss the stages of problem management as well as the tasks at each stage. Why does your
   text refer to these stages as a framework rather than a model and why is this important? What are the
   particular challenges of implementation in the counseling context? Identify and discuss guidelines for
   implementation.
3. How can the problem-management process help the client and counselor mine, organize, and evaluate
   concepts and techniques? Why is evaluation such an important task in problem management?
