Peer reviewedMowbray, Carol T.; Bybee, Deborah; Collins, Mary E.; Levine, Phyllis – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1998
Presents a framework to describe typical constraints that program evaluators face. The framework encompasses the usual evaluation costs and other factors that impede data collection or the implementation of strong evaluation designs. These are characterized as internal/substantive or external/political. (SLD)

Peer reviewedStrasser, Stephen; Deniston, O. Lynn – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1978
Factors involved in pre-planned and post-planned evaluation of program effectiveness are compared: (1) reliability and cost of data; (2) internal and external validity; (3) obtrusiveness and threat; (4) goal displacement and program direction. A model to help program administrators decide which approach is more appropriate is presented. (Author/MH)

Peer reviewedBritan, Gerald M. – Evaluation and Program Planning, 1978
The distinction between experimental evaluation (which employs generalizable analyses of discrete causes and effects) and contextual evaluation (which examines particular program operations holistically) is articulated. Program characteristics are examined and linked to experimental and contextual models of program evaluation. (Author/MH)
