Abstract: The goals of the Institutional Analysis of AJCs are to thoroughly understand and systematically document the institutional characteristics of AJCs, and to identify variations in funding, service delivery, organizational structure, and administration and performance management across AJCs. To achieve these goals, the study will (1) present a comprehensive and systematic description of AJC funding, organization, administration and management, and service delivery structures and processes, and (2) examine AJC service delivery to its customers, including those services provided to target populations.
