Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
This cost-benefit analysis benefits from the rigorous evaluation of the ChalleNGe program conducted by MDRC. In 2005, however, with the support the Department of Defense and a variety of nonprofit foundations, MDRC, an independent nonprofit, nonpartisan social policy research organization, designed and implemented a rigorous evaluation of the ChalleNGe program (hereafter referred to as the “ChalleNGe program evaluation”), employing random assignment that yields estimates of the causal effect of the program on a variety of important life outcomes. The ChalleNGe program evaluation randomly assigned a sample of eligible applicants to be either admitted or denied admission to the program. The evaluation then measured educational, labor market, criminal justice, health, and other outcomes of admitted and nonadmitted applicants approximately 9, 21, and 36 months following entry into the study.
