Evaluation Review
|January 10, 2016
Summary
Evidence-based program registries offer limited context on implementation factors crucial for replication. To improve decision-making, registries need to include non-experimental evaluations and report more on context-specific details.
Area of Science:
- Social Science Research
- Program Evaluation
- Evidence-Based Practices
Background:
- Funders increasingly mandate evidence-based programs, often defined by registries like What Works Clearinghouse.
- Registries prioritize experimental evaluations, focusing on internal validity over external validity for replication.
- This emphasis may hinder effective program replication and adaptation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the extent of context-specific implementation information in evidence-based program registries.
- To determine if registry reports support decisions on program replication and adaptation.
Main Methods:
- A rubric was developed to evaluate context-specific reporting.
- Fifty-five evidence summaries from seven major registries for youth development programs were analyzed.
Main Results:
- Most reports (91%) detail program participants.
- Fewer reports provide context on implementation fidelity (55%), program environment (37%), costs (27%), quality assurance (22%), agencies (19%), or staff (15%).
Conclusions:
- Evidence-based program registries lack sufficient context for informed replication and adaptation decisions.
- Registries should incorporate non-experimental evaluations and prioritize reporting on context-specific implementation factors.

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
