Abstract
Although peer education programs have existed on the college campus for many years, few evaluations of their effectiveness have been made. The author reviews the brief literature on process and outcome evaluations and offers suggestions to encourage evaluations that will yield more accurate and useful information. Such information is particularly important at a time when many universities face budgetary constraints that put these programs and those who administer them at risk when programs and services are curtailed.Keywords
