Greenberg, David; Meyer, Robert; Michalopoulos, Charles; Wiseman, Michael – Evaluation Review, 2003
Used findings from the evaluations of California's Greater Avenues for Independence program and the National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies to illustrate why it is important to question the legitimacy of such syntheses. Results show how tempting generalizations are not justified. (SLD)

Granger, Robert C.; Cytron, Rachel – Evaluation Review, 1999
Synthesizes the long-term findings of three major evaluations of programs that began in the late 1980s and were designed to improve the self-efficacy of teenage mothers on welfare. Economic outcomes for the mothers improved over time, and the interventions had some positive effects, although they did not affect fertility. (SLD)
