Evaluation is increasingly a requirement of any interventive or action programme in health, education and elsewhere. Outside the USA it has grown from being the minority interest of a few specialists to an integral concern for any specially funded project or programme. An informal survey sent out to drug educators attending two major conferences in Australia during 1989, revealed a growing awareness and some unease at the prospect of increasing demands on projects and programmes for evaluation reports of one kind or another.
