Abstract
This resource provides guidance for evaluations that use technology as a key part of the intervention being tested. This resource discusses challenges that J-PAL North America has seen in with these types of studies and describes steps that may help mitigate them. This resource is not targeted to studies in which the only technological component is enrollment or survey administration, though some of the guidance may be applicable to those as well.
