Discussion Questions

1. Imagine yourself in the role of the Director of the Social and Manpower Planning Division. Create a table or list in which you assess the strengths and weaknesses of each design. This table can be written in a technical language. Be sure to consider:

a. The scientific quality of the design, i.e. its ability to estimate the true impact of PATH on the key outcomes of interest.

b. The political feasibility of implementing the design

c. The logistical implications of the design, in terms of ensuring that findings from the evaluation are available in a timely manner for policymakers

d. The financial implications of the design, in particular if it involves more resources than those already budgeted.

2. Write a one-page single-spaced memo to the Minister of Labour and Social Security recommending which design should be selected to evaluate PATH. Justify your recommendation using the strengths and weaknesses you identified above, but write the memo in non-technical language. Attach your table of strengths and weaknesses to the memo.

*I have attached the lecture slides that coincide with the assignment. Please try and match the language and referenced quasi-experiment methods.

Ans 1. Table assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the three Design types.
	
	Design 1
	Design 2
	Design 3
	Scientific quality of the design
	Strength: The outcomes of the study will be accurate as the involved participants understand the key objectives very well
Weakness: Since the types of participants are very specific so generalization of data is limited
	Strength: Selections of participants is very good in this design. The outcomes of the study will be more generalized as it involves the eligible participants and compare them with the suitable comparator to assess the key objectives 
	Weakness: Since this design involve random type of participants irrespective of their eligibility, the data collected for the desired outcome is also not so accurate and hence its use is limited
	Political feasibility of implementing the design
	Strength: Since the outcomes are good chances of political feasibility is high
Weakness:  specific data affects it’s in general implementation
	Strength:
