Hi there. I plan to design a treatment evaluation, and hope it finds out good results. If so, is there any suggestion to get myself prepared?

You are welcome.

Many thanks!

In planning an effective outcome evaluation, the following questions need to be answered:
• What are your indicators for outcomes, and how do you plan to measure them? A good outcome indicator should be directly related to the goals of the intervention.
• How objective, reliable, and valid are the quality of the instruments you intend to use for collecting the information? It may be desirable to use a well-established instrument. If a self-designed or newly constructed instrument is used, it may be necessary to first establish how reliable and valid it is.
• From whom, when, and how often do you plan to collect information on outcomes? An outcome evaluation must be properly designed.
• How do you plan to analyze the information you gathered? Careful analysis of data does not necessarily entail complex statistical procedures. If necessary, however, the services of a statistician may be employed.
