This webinar is part 3 of a 6 part series.

This session on different frameworks for impact analysis will cover:

evaluation designs – internal and external validity and trade-offs that tend to occur between these;
the development of and use of experiments as the ‘gold standard’ in medicine – the case for their use in the social sciences and key adaptations required;
the design of quasi-experiments – the need to take a pragmatic and creative approach to the design of quasi-experiments;
key quantitative methods and their strengths and weaknesses.
