In this chapter you’ll learn about the ethical and cultural issues that influence program evaluation. You’ll learn about Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that often have to approve of program evaluations that use research methods with human participants. After you learn about the kinds of questions you’ll have to answer should you ever need the approval of an IRB, the chapter will turn to cultural issues that bear on recruiting and retaining evaluation participants and collecting and analyzing data in a culturally sensitive fashion. Finally, you’ll examine some key concepts that pertain to developing your own cultural competence.
