Despite the increase in federal tiered evidence initiatives that require the use of rigorous evaluation designs, such as randomized experiments, there has been limited guidance in the evaluation literature on practical strategies to implement such studies successfully. This paper provides lessons learned in executing experiments in applied settings, such as schools, juvenile justice agencies, mental health clinics, reproductive health clinics, and job centers. To promote successful study implementation, evaluators must understand study roles, select suitable partners, and employ appropriate partnership models. In this article, we describe partner types and study roles, concretely illustrate how partnerships might be structured, discuss specific strategies to assess implementation partner capacity and maintain partner engagement, and consider how an evaluator can leverage the skills and resources of study partners to improve participant recruitment, enrollment, and retention. While the lessons are drawn from our experiences conducting 10 experimental studies, some may also apply to non-experimental evaluations.

构建评估伙伴关系:在现实世界环境中实施随机实验时探索研究人员-从业人员角色和责任的对比

尽管需要使用严格评估设计(例如随机实验)的联邦分层证据计划有所增加,但评估文献中关于成功实施此类研究的实用策略的指导有限。本文提供了在应用环境中执行实验的经验教训,例如学校、少年司法机构、心理健康诊所、生殖健康诊所和就业中心。为了促进研究的成功实施,评估人员必须了解研究角色、选择合适的合作伙伴并采用适当的合作模式。在本文中,我们描述了合作伙伴类型和研究角色,具体说明了如何构建合作伙伴关系,讨论评估实施合作伙伴能力和保持合作伙伴参与的具体策略,并考虑评估员如何利用研究合作伙伴的技能和资源来改善参与者招募、注册和保留。虽然这些教训是从我们进行 10 项实验研究的经验中汲取的,但有些也可能适用于非实验评估。
