Norman Denzin's interpretive interactionism research method is presented and its value as an addition to the researcher's tool kit for studying interventions and outcomes is discussed. Examining a narrative example from a recent study, the richness of this method for evaluation research is demonstrated. Crucial links between personal experiences, structures, and public policies can be made through the examination of experiences that are elicited as "thick description, " analyzed through "thick interpretation," and made meaningful by enfolding relevant contextual material.
