摘要：

The present evaluation of a mental health program, Youth Net/Reseau Ado, follows Patton's utilization-focused model. Both staff and youth stakeholders were involved in the process of designing the evaluation, providing ongoing feedback, interpreting results and establishing recommendations. The findings of this evaluation were used consistently in meaningful ways for decision-making and program improvement. Furthermore, stakeholder engagement also appeared to enhance commitment to evaluation. Ultimately, the utilization-focused framework could serve as an evaluation model to enhance continuous improvements in professional practice and outcomes for youth.
