My name is Al Romeo. I am a Master's student at the University of Utah in the Health Education Department. I am beginning my Master's Project which is tentatively titled "Impact Evaluation of a Program About Gay Youth Issues and Homophobia". This project is a follow-up evaluation of a doctoral dissertation done by Jodi Brookins-Fisher titled "The Effect of an Educational Program on Teacher and School Counselor Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs Regarding Homosexuality and Gay Youth" which was implemented in the Autumn of 1995 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. I hope to evaluate the impact of the course on the participants through the use of an evaluation tool which will determine "specific changes in dealing with harassment issues, developing and implementing curriculum changes, providing referral and counseling services, and poviding resource materials in classrooms and libraries" (quoted from my purpose statement). I hope to distribute the evaluation tool to the participants (approximately 30 secondary school teachers and counselors) this March. I am hoping that one or all of you would be able to direct me to an evaluation tool(s) or refer me to a collegue who may know of an appropriate tool(s). The tool may be specifically for measuring items related to Gay and Lesbian issues, for measuring items related to multicultural issues, or simply for measuring items related to general educational issues. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience at the addresses listed below. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Alfred N.
