    Different Types of Client Participation and the Effects on Community-Social Work Intervention
    (1994) Itzhaky, Haya; York , Alan S.
    The study described here tries to test empirically the assumption that client participation in community-social work intervention leads to improved outputs. Two hundred senior community centre staff were asked about their practices and means of client participation, and about the outputs of the community centres: intrinsic, process outputs, extrinsic, goal attainment outputs and economic outputs. It was found that most of the measures of client participation predicted the types of outputs at a moderate to high level, and, together, explained about a fifth of the variance in each type of output. The study suggests that client participation is not only a value of community-social work, but contributes to its effectiveness and success.
