Abstract
To conduct effective research, you have to know three things: what you are going to do, to whom you are going to do it, and when you are going to do it. The “who” refers to the sample or group of participants, the “what” to the evaluation design and protocol, and the “when” to over what period of time the data will be collected. The study design is the blueprint that addresses these three questions.
