It can be interesting to venture outside the general evaluation literature. Here’s Gordon Paul (1967, p. 111) on what works for whom:
“What is the appropriate question to be asked of outcome research? In all its complexity, the question towards which all outcome research should ultimately be directed is the following: What treatment, by whom, is most effective for this individual with that specific problem, and under which set of circumstances?”
