Applying the eight principles of developmental evaluation
Evaluators learning about developmental evaluation (DE) may struggle with the need for guidance on the concrete specifics of how to “do developmental evaluation” because of the need to tailor the use of the method to the context of the program being evaluated. Case examples in the literature provide illustrations of how others have applied this approach. This article adds to this growing body of knowledge by detailing the experience of the first …

The authors reduce this gap by detailing an integrated methodology they utilized during their recent evaluation of the Youth Educating About Health (YEAH) program. A number of parallels betwe…
