It is inevitable that as an evaluator, you will run into people who use results selectively, misrepresent results (intentionally or unintentionally), or suppress relevant information. In the particular situation in the case study, how could you as the evaluator serve the greater good or public interest? In your initial post, provide pros and cons for the following options: Keep silent. Go public. Leak the results. Submit a protest to the mayor. Push back privately through health department and mayor’s aides.
