Hi All, 

I'm wondering if someone could please provide a good example of a realist evaluation manuscript that tests initial program theories from a previous realist synthesis/review? 

Assuming the reader has not read the realist review manuscript, how much detail should one provide about the initial program theories in their RE manuscript? 

I have 8 program theories from my review findings which I test in my realist evaluation. At present I have these listed as CMOs in a table at the beginning of my methods section. I have referenced my review and discussed how these have informed the evaluation. 

Please let me know if there is a better way of doing this. Any examples will be a huge help! 

Thanks, 

Sweatha
