. Each county shall ensure the evaluation of all funded
programs to determine whether they have achieved their objectives as
determined in the planning process. In addition, recognizing the
difficulty and expense of conducting effective county alcohol and
other drug program evaluation, the department may assist counties in
developing evaluation designs for implementation by counties to
measure progress of alcohol or other drug users, changes in community
attitudes toward inappropriate alcohol use and other drug problems,
changes in the incidence and prevalence of alcohol and other drug
problems within the county, or other objectives identified in the
planning process. The department, in cooperation with counties that
choose to participate, may assist and fund counties to implement the
evaluation designs developed. Counties may contract with public or
private agencies and utilize funds allocated under this part for
purposes of conducting the evaluations.
