A comprehensive evaluation of a program is necessary in order to assess (1) the efficacy of the program; (2) if the objectives of the program have been attained; and (3) if the needs of the various program stakeholders have been satisfied. The various elements that make-up program evaluation and are offered by Glaser Consulting includes:

• Definition of objectives and goals of evaluation
• Planning and execution of research design, sampling (including which stakeholders to sample and optimal time periods to sample), and methodology
• Construction and administration of measures
• Needs assessment
• Quantitative and qualitative analysis
• Specific recommendations based on evaluation (formative and/or summative)
