Abstract

Event history analysis examines events, the duration of time between events, the likelihood of events occuring, and the pacing of events. Programs with such diverse goals as obtaining employment, abstaining from drugs, reducing reincarceration, or increasing the likelihood of graduating from high school can be evaluated using an event history analysis. This article presents an overview of event history analysis, explains how event history analysis can be used in program evaluation, and describes how it was used to study a welfare-to-work program.
