A group of labor researchers studying fast food workers hope to measure the effect of eliminating on-call scheduling (when workers are scheduled to be "on-call" but may or may not have to come into work)on worker health and well-being.One unanticipated consequence researchers found in the treatment group was that even though formal on-call schedules were eliminated,fast food managers continued to call in workers on their days off,a phenomenon which has been documented in similar studies.Based on what we know from the STAR study,what lesson do evaluation researchers need to keep in mind?
A)It is important to rely on specific scientific knowledge that has been established in prior evaluation research.
B)Adequate resources must be in place before launching a small-scale social intervention.
C)Intervention studies should avoid implementing programs incrementally.
D)Researchers should look to self-reported measures to conclude whether the program worked.
