Randomized experiments involving education interventions are typically implemented as cluster randomized trials, with schools serving as clusters. To design such a study, it is critical to understand the degree to which learning outcomes vary between versus within clusters (schools), specifically the intraclass correlation coefficient. It is also…

Peer reviewedFletcher, Linda A.; Erickson, Darin J.; Toomey, Traci L.; Wagenaar, Alexander C. – Evaluation Review, 2003
Compared data collected through paper survey forms to data collected with handheld computer-based forms in a field study of alcohol purchase attempts at 47 community festivals. Agreement between the two methods was greater than 95%. Findings show handheld computers to be a feasible alternative to paper forms for field data collection. (SLD)

Peer reviewedLuks, Samantha; Brady, Henry E. – Evaluation Review, 2003
Discusses how to define a welfare spell (period on welfare) and how well surveys measure welfare spells. A look at survey and administrative data from two studies shows that a substantial amount of administrative churning occurs in administrative data. A single definition of a welfare spell does not appear applicable to all respondents. (SLD)

Peer reviewedSenf, Janet H. – Evaluation Review, 1987
Reasons for not returning a questionnaire were studied among Lutheran church members sent a postcard to indicate no intention of replying. The analysis is based on 431 returned postcards. For most nonresponders, the interest value of the questionnaire topic was not high enough. Many who returned the negative reply card would be resistant…

Peer reviewedLaFond, Colette; Toomey, Traci L.; Rothstein, Catherine; Wagenaar, Alexander C.; Manning, Willard – Evaluation Review, 2000
Evaluated the accuracy of three methods used to obtain policy data: (1) government surveys; (2) secondary sources; and (3) historical legal research. Findings from a study of changes in state legislation show legal research to be most accurate for established laws, but multistage data best for recent laws. (SLD)

Melde, Chris; Esbensen, Finn-Aage; Tusinski, Karin – Evaluation Review, 2006
Over the past quarter-century, evaluation researchers have recognized the importance of documenting implementation practices of programs as they are transferred from controlled to real-world settings. As programs become widely disseminated in the general population, there is a tendency for practitioners to alter programs in a manner more conducive…
