If at first you succeed, try again!
Posted on October 30, 2017 by Lauren Rilling

If at first you succeed, try again!

One of the fundamental principles of scientific research is replication—retesting of apparently successful interventions to make sure the initial success was not a fluke. The principle is widely accepted and practiced in the physical and biological sciences, but is less so in the social sciences. Today’s case in point, a replication of the Hawaii Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE) program, makes clear why replication of positive findings is also essential in the social sciences before policymakers can be confident that a social program is truly effective.
