3rd printing, October 2015 . This is the revised 2007 edition of PASSING, a quantitative program evaluation method for human services. In applying Social Roles Valorization objectives, PASSING assesses the extent to which service settings, programs, client groupings and service imagery and symbols contribute to the image and competency enhancement of clients.

In this comprehensive manual, the authors have provided an exhaustive discussion of service quality and effectiveness issues and how these relate to the social integration and participation of vulnerable persons.

The PASSING rating scale consists of 42 evaluation measures which require a consensus among the participating evaluators. PASSING is one of the few program evaluation tools for which psychometric data exists, including norms for Canada and the United States.
