How can one tell if a new programme has been effective or not? Is there any way to predict how a group of individuals would have fared without the new programme or service? Packed with rich and varied examples, Robert F Boruch's book untangles the complexities of randomized field experiments to enable researchers to evaluate better the impact of new programmes. After an exploration of how to judge whether or not a programme worked, the author discusses: the context of experiments, the standards used to judge the ethical propriety of randomized experiments, methods for studying populations, sampling methods, the randomization procedure, baseline measures, missing data registry, and analyses for quality assurance.
