Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaluators can hinder the use of evaluation research by designing studies that yield ambiguous results and by not effectively communicating those results to the relevant stakeholders, such as program administrators or policymakers. Both of these issues can make it difficult for the findings to be understood and applied, thereby creating barriers to the utilization of the research.
