Getting On and Off the Policy Agenda: A Dualistic Theory of Program Evaluation Utilization.

Cabatoff, Kenneth A.

Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation/La Revue canadienne d'evaluation de programme, v11 n2 p35-60 Aut 1996

A "policy communities" framework is proposed to explain why three evaluations of home care and services for the elderly in Quebec (Canada) either influenced, or failed to influence, policymaking in the area. It is suggested that program evaluation strategies should reflect the political context of the evaluation. (SLD)
