Evaluation FAQ: What Sample Size Do I Need for an Impact Evaluation?

Abstract:

An appropriate study sample size and method of selection is critical to the success of any evaluation.

This will ensure that an adequate sample is selected to answer your primary evaluation questions.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
