Evidence for Decisions: From Description to Decisions | Harvard University

In Evidence for Decisions, you will harness the power of evidence and use it to understand the dimensions of a problem, measure effectiveness of policy, and update assumptions that lead to effective policymaking. You will develop skills with analytical tools for weighing tradeoffs and making decisions, and you will build a critical-thinking mindset for how evidence indicates a program is working – and when it is not.
