If you are interested in program assessment, you can access the Gender-Responsive Assessment tool  which was developed for program administrators, evaluators, agency monitors and staff to use to evaluate the gender responsiveness of programs for women and girls in community settings (outpatient and residential substance abuse treatment programs, domestic violence shelters, mental health clinics, etc.).   There is also a criminal justice version of the Gender-Responsive Assessment tool available.
