Develop two research questions: one for an evaluation of an intervention and another for a program evaluation. Identify the main distinction between the two.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Varies. An example of a research question that falls into the category of an intervention evaluation would be as follows: Are the anxiety posttest scores of our support group clients better than their pretest anxiety scores? An example of a program evaluation question might be, “Is the child welfare program effective in the enhancement of the number of abused children who are identified for treatment and the reduction of child abuse recidivism?” A major distinction is that the program evaluation is broader in scope than the evaluation of an intervention.
