註釋This paper argues that we should and could use randomised control trials (RCTs) much more extensively in domestic public policy to test the effectiveness of new and existing interventions and variations thereof; to learn what is working and what is not; and to adapt our policies so that they steadily improve and evolve both in terms of quality and effectiveness. Part I of this paper sets out what an RCT is and why they are important. It addresses many of the common arguments against using RCTs in public policy and argues that trials are not as challenging to put in place as is often assumed, and that they can be highly cost-effective ways of evaluating policy outcomes and assessing value for money. Part II of the paper outlines 9 key steps that any RCT needs to have in place. Many of these steps should be fundamental to any policy initiative, others will require support from academics or centres of expertise within government.
