Many evaluations depend on follow-up interviews, and low attrition rates can help strengthen internal and external validity. The process of locating participants can consume significant evaluation resources. The World Wide Web is an inexpensive tracking tool offering cost-effective and time-saving access to several information networks and agencies that may provide information on program participants. The use of the World Wide Web as a tracking tool is illustrated by describing its application during follow-up work in the evaluation of a substance abuse treatment program for pregnant and postpartum women. This article serves as a guide to location-related links and their potential applications with a variety of participant groups.
