EUCPN Mythbuster: Are evaluations too challenging?

It is evident that a multitude of myths and attitudes surround the idea of evidence-based prevention. While some of these attitudes constitute actual challenges, such as merging an evaluation culture with the complex and fast-paced nature of the public sector, many of the perceived difficulties can, in turn, be disputed.

This mythbuster examines common reasons why people remain hesitant in respect of evaluations. It discusses both myths and actual challenges faced by the prevention workforce when conducting evaluations.
