Monitoring Evaluation Research On and About Children, 1975-1977

This study was developed collaboratively with the staff of the Foundation for Child Development. It has three objectives: To examine the quantity and quality of evaluation research undertaken by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare completed in the years 1974-1975, to identify studies relevant to children and their families and examine them in terms of cumulative knowledge and social-policy relevance, and finally, to estimate the extent to which there is an increased commitment by evaluators and their sponsors to the impact of the studies on children and their families.
