How does evaluation research differ from other types of social work research?
What will be an ideal response?
It is not a method of data collection, like survey research or experiments, nor is it a unique component of research designs, like sampling or measurement. Evaluation research is social work research that is conducted for a distinctive purpose: to investigate social programs (such as substance abuse treatment programs, welfare programs, mental health programs, or employment and training programs). For each project, an evaluation researcher must select a research design and method of data collection that are useful for answering the particular research questions posed and appropriate for the particular program investigated.
