Developed by Peterson and Burck, and explained in the above book, the CIP approach involves identifying the skills and knowledge to be acquired in an intervention, the prescribing and documenting of learning activities to help clients achieve them, the measuring of changes in perceptions and cognitions, and finally, the determining of whether these changes are manifested in subsequent life-adjustment outcomes. The model also involves comparing these outputs of the service to the costs of delivery, including the costs of personnel, capital outlay and overheads.
