| Abstract: | Recent advances in design, measurement, and analysis can have only a marginal impact on the integrity of evaluation studies because the evaluation of social programs is fundamentally dependent on the quality of the collected data. The effects of data collection procedures and their consequences on the integrity of evaluation conclusions are explicated. Data collection faults occurring in evaluation studies are enumerated and illustrated. A research agenda is proposed for improving data collection in social program evaluations.
