'Real-World' Evaluation: Ten Key Principles for Evaluating Complex Health and Social Interventions
2 day course: Thursday 1st - Friday 2nd February 2018
Course Overview
The course is primarily focused on evaluations in complex ‘real-world’ situations, in which the evaluator has limited control over the intervention or context, and traditional experimental methods are inappropriate. It aims to introduce ten key principles for evaluation of complex interventions and how to apply these in health and social care settings.
By the end of this programme participants will be able to:
Recognise differences between simple, complicated and complex interventions
Identify and prioritise areas of complexity
Describe ten key principles for evaluating complex interventions
Discuss the strengths and limitations of various approaches for evaluating complex interventions
Plan the application of methods for theory-driven evaluation
Develop and test programme theories
Appreciate the key issues for data analysis and presentation of findings
Course content
The course will mix theory and practice, and give broad perspectives drawing on the participants’ own work and evaluation needs. Participants will be introduced to complex situations, complex interventions and innovative evaluation methodologies (e.g. theory-driven approaches, Realist Evaluation, & Developmental Evaluation).
