ANS: B, C, E
A summative evaluation includes measurement of adequacy, appropriateness, efficiency, and cost-benefit measurements. The intervention will have limited impact unless follow-up recommendations are communicated to the aggregate on completion of the project. Media coverage may or may not be helpful, depending on the project and the intervention. Statistics are useless unless carefully chosen to reflect measurement of objectives. Reports are often shelved without being read, so only those immediately involved should have both input into any report and a copy of the outcome findings.
