From the Paper:

"The process used to identify salient variables for the evaluation phase is achieved through establishing set standards that are prioritized above other potential outcomes. These are identified as the objectives in the evaluation process. The criteria and standards of a program are taken into consideration. Specifically, Twemlow, Fonagy, Sacco, Gies, Evans, and Ewbank's (2001) efforts can be transformed into salient variables through identifying the purpose of the program and the rationale that is used as its foundation."
