Everyone wants to get better at research and evaluation, but what methodology best suits your question? Formative Assessment? Economic Evaluation? Outcome Evaluation? Randomized Control Trial? So many options, so much data, and such little time. This panel will present various research methodologies and the circumstances for which they are best suited. Attendees are encouraged to come ready to discuss their own programs and research questions in order to determine which evaluation methods would be appropriate. The panelists will also discuss available resources to help programs conduct their own evaluations or connect up with research partners.
