Abstract

Despite a growing literature on evaluation methods suitable for applied settings, few investigators address the separation of research and service. This article recognizes obstacles to field studies. The authors specify practical strategies for entering service environments and for designing, implementing, and measuring an experimental interven tion. Documentation for the strategies comes from an evaluation of primary prevention in the public schools.
