How Do We Handle the Clinical Evaluation Forms? The evaluation survey, which is available in both on-line and paper versions, is sent to people to whom we ve provided clinical services. Only one form is sent to an individual who has received services in a quarter regardless of how many times they have received the services. They are asked to evaluate the quality of the services they received, whether it was one or more than one service encounter. For help in accessing or distributing the evaluation form, contact Gayle Osburn at 272-5938 or gosburn@salud.unm.edu.
