Defining and Operationalizing "Research-Based" Prevention: A Critique (with Case Studies) of the U.S. Department of Education's Safe, Disciplined and Drug-Free Schools Exemplary Programs.

Gorman, D. M.

Evaluation and Program Planning, v25 n3 p295-302 Aug 2002

Studied "science-based" and "research-based" as criteria for the evaluation of exemplary programs under the Safe, Disciplined and Drug-Free Schools Program through an examination of the evaluations of two such programs. Findings suggest that the "exemplary" criteria were either poorly defined or not well operationalized in the process of program selection. (SLD)
