Since Peter H. Rossi, Mark W. Lipsey, and Howard E. Freeman first published Evaluation: A Systematic Approach, more than 90,000 readers have considered it the premier text on how to design, implement, and appraise social programs through evaluation. In this, the completely revised Seventh Edition, authors Rossi and Lipsey include the latest techniques and approaches to evaluation as well as guidelines to tailor evaluations to fit programs and social contexts.This bestselling text covers the full range of evaluation topics, including- Framing evaluation questions- Uncovering program theory- Studying implementation- Designing impact assessments- Assessing program costs and benefits- Understanding the politics of evaluatingWith decades of hands-on experience conducting evaluations, the authors provide scores of examples to help students understand how evaluators deal with various critical issues. They include a glossary of key terms and concepts, making this the most comprehensive and authoritative evaluation text available.Thoroughly revised, the Seventh Edition now includes- Substantially more attention to outcome measurement- Lengthy discussions of program theory, including a section about detecting program effects and interpreting their practical significance- An augmented and updated discussion of major evaluation designs- A detailed exposition of meta-analysis as an approach to the synthesis of evaluation studies- Alternative approaches to evaluation- Examples of successful evaluations- Discussions of the political and social contexts of evaluation

Les recherches dans le domaine de la santé recourent de plus en plus fréquemment aux méthodes qualitatives, caractérisées par leur diversité : enquêtes anthropologiques à visée compréhensive, évaluations d’interventions ou encore recherches exploratoires en vue de la mise en place d’essais cliniques. Leur enseignement a donc un rôle essentiel à jouer dans le développement actuel de la recherche en santé.Ce manuel est à la fois théorique et pratique. Il rappelle l’ancrage historique et disciplinaire des recherches qualitatives en santé et présente ensuite les méthodes de recherche qualitative en exposant leurs fondements, leurs principes, leurs outils et pratiques appliqués à la santé. Il illustre la mise en oeuvre de ces méthodes à travers des exemples détaillés de recherches qualitatives en santé menées dans différents domaines et selon des approches variées. Il donne ainsi les moyens d’élaborer, selon son niveau, un travail de recherche qualitative.

This volume is based on lectures given at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Stochastic Games and Applications," which took place at Stony Brook, NY, USA, July 1999. It gives the editors great pleasure to present it on the occasion of L.S. Shapley's eightieth birthday, and on the fiftieth "birthday" of his seminal paper "Stochastic Games," with which this volume opens. We wish to thank NATO for the grant that made the Institute and this volume possible, and the Center for Game Theory in Economics of the State University of New York at Stony Brook for hosting this event. We also wish to thank the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, for providing continuing financial support, without which this project would never have been completed. In particular, we are grateful to our editorial assistant Mike Borns, whose work has been indispensable. We also would like to acknowledge the support of the Ecole Poly tech­ nique, Paris, and the Israel Science Foundation. March 2003 Abraham Neyman and Sylvain Sorin ix STOCHASTIC GAMES L.S.
