Side-effects

From EvaluationWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Effects of an intervention that are other than those that the intervention was intended to produce. They may or may not be unexpected (most programs have the side-effect of hiring a staff and hence increasing employment in the community, but this is not unexpected-it's just 'not the point,' not part of the aim of the program). Normally, side-effects are registered on the target population, but see side-impacts.
