Abstract
This paper compares evaluative research to program evaluation by defining and describing each. A case example using the scientific design and methodology of evaluative research to evaluate a specific community mental health program is also presented. Project design is discussed in light of the awareness that the mental health needs of communities do not always bend to fit the requisite of precise scientific procedure. Some ideas on methodological considerations reflect that normal research tools can be useful to achieve a valid study. Implications for the application of evaluative research to community mental health needs are also identified.
