Millions of US youth are at risk for involvement in crime \& violence, substance use \& abuse, unsafe sex, school failure, lack of job preparedness, \& the problems associated with living in poverty. To address these issues, scholars \& child advocates have called for comprehensive, integrated, \& community based responses that build community capacities for sustaining effective programs. Based on a model for university community collaboration in the evaluation of youth serving programs, described here is the Development in Context Evaluation (DICE) model. Building on the work of H. B. Weiss \& various colleagues (eg, 1992), the DICE model involves a community collaborative approach to evaluation, program design, \& implementation. It builds on the values of the community, \& engages community members in issue identification, evaluation design, implementation, data collection, \& decisions about how to use the results of the evaluation. 52 References.
