Program Evaluation: A Variety of Rigorous Methods Can Help Identify
Effective Interventions
GAO-10-30 November 23, 2009 http://www.gao.gov/Products/GAO-10-30
Several rigorous alternatives to randomized experiments are considered
appropriate for other situations: quasi-experimental comparison group
studies, statistical analyses of observational data, and--in some
circumstances--in-depth case studies. The credibility of their
estimates of program effects relies on how well the studies' designs
rule out competing causal explanations. Collecting additional data and
targeting comparisons can help rule out other explanations. GAO
concludes that (1) requiring evidence from randomized studies as sole
proof of effectiveness will likely exclude many potentially effective
and worthwhile practices
These others are all old, but still very good.
