Compare client and staff perceptions and monitor program changes over
time
Rudolf H. Moos
As one of the Social Climate Scales, the Community Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES) has been widely used in clinical settings and program evaluation. It helps to compare client and staff perceptions, to monitor program changes over time, and to promote program improvement. It also provides accurate information about perceptions of different programs and encourages staff involvement in program planning and design. It measures: involvement, support, spontaneity, autonomy, practical orientation, personal problem orientation, anger and aggression, order and organization, program clarity, and staff control. All three forms (R, I, E) are included.

Scales
The items of the COPES are grouped into ten subscales with three dimensions.
Relationship
These subscales assess how involved members are in the program, how much the staff support members and members support each other, and the amount of openness and expressiveness in the program.
- Involvement
- Support
- Spontaneity
Personal Growth or Goal Orientation
- Autonomy assesses the extent to which members are encouraged to be self-sufficient and independent.
- Practical Orientation reflects the emphasis on practical living and job skills and preparation for leaving the program.
- Personal Problem Orientation taps the extent to which the program seeks to increase members' self-understanding and insight.
- Anger and Aggression assesses the extent to which members are encouraged to openly express their feelings of anger.
System Maintenance
These dimensions measure the extent to which the program functions in an orderly, clear, organized, and coherent way.
- Order and Organization
- Program Clarity
- Staff Control
Research Applications and Evidence
- Describing and Comparing Treatment Programs
- A Typology of Community-Based Treatment Programs
- The Determinants of Program Climate
- The Impact of Treatment Environments
