ABSTRACT
Some 'audits' which do not look at outcomes are examples of process evaluations, as are most action evaluations which give fast feedback to decision makers about a programme or change. This chapter describes two designs for a process evaluation: descriptive and audit. These are used where it is not possible to collect outcome data for reasons of cost or time. They may also be used when people are not clear about exactly what they want evaluated or whether an intervention has actually been implemented.
