A Quantitative Evaluation Utilizing Standardized Effect Unit

概要

In this paper, the author proposes an evaluation method to measure the standardized effect by measuring the change of key indicators of the intervened group (in comparison with a non-intervened group). The standardized effect can be dealt as unit. She gives it a unit name 'effect'. Impact can be calculated by multiplying the standardized effect and the target population. Efficiency can be calculated by dividing this impact by the total input expressed in monetary unit. She shows two cases to which she applied this method: the evaluation of Japan's Foreign Student Policy and that of a regional Reproductive Health Program in the Philippines.<BR>One of the merits of this method is to quantify the effect of intervention and to express it by a standardized unit 'effect'. By this quantification, it became possible to measure impact and efficiency in a standardized way.<BR>By utilizing the same key indicators and conducting evaluation in this method, it will be possible to compare the standardized effect, impact and efficiency of different interventions. The difference of effect and efficiency will be caused by the conditions of the intervening side and the intervened side. So, this comparison will give clues to explore not only the effective and efficient way of intervention, but also the promoting and hindering factors in the target population.
