Outcomes of Welfare Reform for Families Who Leave Tanf - New Directions for Evaluation, Number 91

Klappentext Such dramatic policy changes provide evaluators with expansive opportunities for policy-relevant research, but they also raise questions about the role of evaluation in informing policy and about the information most valuable for this purpose. A key challenge facing evaluators is that stakeholders often have diverse needs and expectations. As a result, policy is often best informed by an array of evaluations that use different methods. Recognizing the difficulties involved, this issue contributes to the welfare policy debate by reporting on a multisite project examining families who leave welfare. The studies used multiple sources of data, employed multiple approaches to analysis, and included multiple value-based outcomes. The goals of this issue are to use this planned mixture of multiple methods to provide a richer understanding of life after TANF and to illustrate how to incorporate multiple or mixed methods in the social policy arena.
