The following short course at the University of Sheffield, School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) might be of interest to some. The course has been running regularly since 2013, and has recently been redesigned to concentrate on more practical aspects of evaluation. It is 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. Whilst theory-driven approaches, including Realist Evaluation are incorporated as methodologically important the main focus is on practical steps to designing and conducting a complex evaluation. 'Real-World' Evaluation: Ten Key Principles for Evaluating Complex Health and Social Interventions 2 day course: Fridays, 8th AND 15th January 2016 £450 - Early Bird Fee for bookings received on or before 30th November 2015.
