Values inquiry refers to systematic investigation of the values relevant to a program, including understanding those outcomes most prized by stakeholders. Although much attention has been given to stakeholder involvement, the literature on value inquiries per se as an approach is limited. This paper demonstrates how several of the steps used in the ATM approach to developing logic models [Am. J. Eval. 23 (2002) 493] are congruent with the tenets of values inquiry and can serve to advance values inquiry methodology. Using a case study approach, we describe how interview and deliberative approaches were combined to prioritize a large number of potential outcomes for a coalition of agencies working toward the same goal. Successes and challenges in understanding the application of the ATM approach to furthering the development of values inquiry methods are offered.
