What is an outcome evaluation?

What will be an ideal response?


An outcome evaluation involves quantitative research aimed at assessing the impact of a program on long-term treatment outcomes. Such evaluations are usually carefully designed studies that compare outcomes for a treatment group with outcomes for other, less intensive treatments or a no-treatment control group (i.e., a sample of offenders who meet the program admission criteria but who do not receive treatment). These evaluations involve complex statistical analyses and sophisticated report preparation.
