Therefore we can diagnose some problems today that can have a big impact on the efficient implementation of research. These include: lack of experience in commissioning of evaluation studies using methods counterfactual, a small practice research companies in the implementation of this type of research, a lack of necessary data or problems in their acquisition, particularly in the context of building control groups, receiving the results of post factum etc. There are a few remedies which can help to eliminate difficulties.
