This study used an experimental design to empirically answer five research questions regarding the impact of different messages on evidence use. The questions ask whether mentioning the following in the description of the evaluation impacts on the willingness to endorse the use of evidence from qualitative evaluations for decision making: Q1: appropriateness of qualitative methods for the line of inquiry Q2: triangulation of data sources and/or methods Q3: subject matter expertise of the evaluators Q4: independence of the evaluators Q5: that the evaluators are from the same location as the activity they are evaluating. The study entailed two separate experiments, with two participant panels. The first experiment addressed the first two research questions, and the second the last three research questions.
