One-group pretest-posttest design is used to assess the effectiveness of the program aiming to decreasing depression of divorced females. If there is significant difference between the pretest and posttest data, can we say that this program is effective?

Probably no. It may have maturation effect, which means that outcomes change as a result of females’ growth and development (without intervention).

Hi, everyone. I get a question! Different stakeholders may have different expectations for the program evaluation. May I ask how evaluators could deal with such contradictory expectations?

Hello. May I ask a question about how to choose the model for program evaluation? Sometimes I find that it is not enough to adopt only one model. Can I use different models in a program evaluation at the same time?

Hi, we are invited to develop an evaluation program on IFSCs. May I ask why we need to clarify the meaning of evaluation to the program personnel? I thought it was common sense.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?

I have designed a large-scale survey about the life satisfaction of low-income families in Hong Kong. Is it appropriate to use the electronic survey through mobile phones?
