Where should you add the program schedule under?

• A. Program Referral
• B. Attendance
• C. Cost
• D. Treatment

Answer: (A)

Focus on how scheduling information is managed within the system. The program schedule belongs with the referral to a program because it specifies the planned timing and cadence of an intervention as part of the process of connecting the offender to that program. Keeping the schedule in the referral keeps the planning of program engagement together with the decision to refer, making it easier to coordinate start dates, sessions, and enrollment.

If you place the schedule under attendance, you mix planned events with actual participation, which can obscure what was scheduled versus what actually occurred. Under cost, scheduling details would be out of place and could complicate billing or budgeting. Under treatment, scheduling would blur with the content or progress of the intervention itself, which should be tracked separately. The scheduling data, therefore, is most logically and effectively stored with the program referral.
