TL;DR
To create programs that will be disseminable, a greater focus is needed on external validity and transparency of reporting and an approach can produce evidence that is both rigorous and relevant.
Abstract
To create programs that will be disseminable, a greater focus is needed on external validity and transparency of reporting. We need to realize that the world is complex and embrace and study this complexity to produce further progress. Such an approach can produce evidence that is both rigorous and relevant.
