Developing studies for rigorous evaluation

 

Rigorous and independent evaluation can help you create and implement effective policy and practice. Our experts can help you create evaluations that identify outcomes, while protecting participant anonymity.

To help you achieve your objectives, we bring you expertise in collecting primary data—including surveys, interviews, and focus groups—managing secondary data, applying qualitative and quantitative techniques, and sharing results in a way that maximizes learning and progress.

For example, U.S. college campuses were informed of the extent of sexual assaults on their campuses using a climate validation survey we developed. Another client used our trial to test the effectiveness of a long-acting microbicide for HIV prevention in women in South Africa.

Government, foundation, and private sector clients have been able to more effectively reach their goals and assess their programs using our evaluations.
