Hi Kerryn
Glad to connect to you on this forum! I am also doing my PhD from LaTrobe using realist evaluation. How did we miss each other at the Brisbane conference!!
I also had this similar concern, but my supervisor said since I would be using the data that I collect from program designers in developing tools and analysis in subsequent stages, I definitely need ethics approval for all stages including stage I of theory formulation.
It would be good to catch up sometime in the Uni :)
See you soon!
Cheers
Monisha
