Evaluierung der Aktivität

Quantitative Fragebogenerhebung (schriftlich/offline)
It was decided that randomised controlled trials would be used to determine programme impact. By taking a large enough group of trial participants, it is possible to allocate participants such that some receive "treatment" (in this case, participation in a social action initiative) and some do not. Those that do not are referred to as the "control" group.
