A proper evaluation research design should assess clients and control participants on the dependent variable at least three times: at the beginning of treatment, at the end of treatment, and at a follow-up after the end of treatment. This allows for the assessment of the long-term effects of the treatment and helps to determine whether the effects are sustainable over time.
