Abstract
The article reports on the implementation of a Web-based, self-scoring version of the Family Assessment Device (FAD) in parent education for needs assessment and evaluation purposes. The FAD measures overall family functioning and six key areas of family functioning. Results of the analysis of each subscale indicated that participants increased their level of family functioning with respect to problem-solving, communication, affective involvement, affective responsiveness, roles, behavior control, and general functioning. Paired t-test results indicated that a statistically significant change occurred on five out of the seven measures. Implications of the application for needs assessment and outcome purposes are discussed.
