SP - 39 EP - 57 VL - 13 IS - 2 N2 - This article describes the evaluation processes employed in the Ohio project to develop and test screening tools and referral protocols on elder abuse and domestic violence. Three focus groups and a Roundtable of experts were utilized to develop the materials in the first year. In the second year, a formal quantitative evaluation that involved 160 practitioners in Ohio was implemented to review the materials and to use them with clients. Findings from the quantitative evaluation were incorporated to make changes that led to a final document that was much simpler, less lengthy, and more relevant to beginning practitioners.
