TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Participatory evaluation: researchers and service providers as collaborators versus adversaries JO - Violence against women A1 - Levin, Rebekah SP - 1213 EP - 1227 VL - 5 IS - 10 N2 - This article examines the types of evaluation research that need to be carried out with respect to domestic violence programs, and it advocates for the use of participatory evaluation as a means of bringing researchers and advocates together as colleagues rather than adversaries in the task. To do so, both sets of players need to modify their roles slightly, with practitioners becoming part evaluators and researchers letting go of their objective-outsider frocks to learn alongside those providing the services. Included is a description of a domestic violence project in which participatory evaluation was incorporated into its design and implementation.
