Abstract
An avowed aim of post-occupancy housing evaluation is to assess the impact of housing programs or residential settings on occupants. Yet, research designs with control groups go unused in these evaluations, despite their direct relevance. To encourage such research designs, a field-tested model for the selection of respondents for treatment and control groups, under conditions that do not allow random assignment, is described. The model's adequacy is evaluated and its limitations are discussed.Keywords
