Hey,

As a part of the EA Israel's workshop project, I'm writing a presentation on measurement and evaluation of social impact, and I'm looking for material on the following topics:

* Reliable and approachable materials regarding RCT execution and how to determine the representative sample of a study population

* How to evaluate an intervention focused on subjective well being, in terms of comparing between SWB focused interventions and evaluating the impact of these types of interventions.

Thanks in advance!

Happier Lives Institute has the sequence "Measuring Happiness", and conducted a meta-analysis on SWB outcomes of cash transfers.

About how to run an RCT, I searched at J-PAL (which are amazing) and found this list of resources on RCTs execution (which looks amazing and that probably contains what you want).
