Abstract
The papers in this panel tackle the complexities of evaluation, from choices made about types of data and methods to use, as well as the variety of outcomes that can be examined. All three remind us that thoughtful, rigorous, and realistic evaluation is possible if we carefully consider our evaluation choices as well as possible alternatives.
