Description
Summary:This case study describes the process and challenges of conducting a multisite, multi-state prison program evaluation. This research is part of a PhD project that began as a quasi-experimental evaluation of dog-training programs with comparisons between and within individuals before and after the intervention. As problems in gathering substantial quantitative data arose, the researchers conducted qualitative research in the form of semistructured interviews and observations to strengthen the evaluation.
