Abstract

This article represents an exploration into issues relevant to the application of evaluation methodologies and theories to the social policy arena. A number of evaluation approaches and issues are explored in the context of an illustrative policy example -- that of the legislative changes in minimum legal drinking age in the state of Michigan. This effort is directed towards the goal of furthering the solution of social problems through effective involvement of evaluation strategies in social policy development.
