title: How evaluation findings can be integrated into program decision making.
abstract: The paper describes difficulties in integrating the findings of research and evaluation studies back into the ongoing process of decision making. The paper suggests how to present information in such a way as to improve its intellectual understandability and to decrease affective resistances to the acceptance of new information. The paper also describes common blocks that are met in the attempt to implement recommendations and describes methods to overcome them.
