Hi Monisha,
There's really useful stuff in this paper by Ray Pawson and Ana Manzano on mixing methods to support programme theory 'testing':
"A Realist Diagnostic Workshop"

Hi Gill
Thank you for recommending this platform!
I am also a PhD student at LaTrobe University using Realist Evaluation to understand Outreach Model of family planning service delivery in India. I have a couple of questions re the method of data collection. I am planning to use mixed method. I am developing an interview guide for the management staff to understand the theory of change highlighting context and mechanism that results in expected outcomes. In phase 2 of testing the program theories, I plan to conduct a survey with the field staff and interviews with service users (women who received contraceptives from outreach). But I am not sure how to develop a questionnaire for the field staff? Should the questionnaire have the same questions as asked from the managers during the theory development phase? Should it be close ended with options taken from the responses of the managers?
Is there any reference tools (questionnaires) that I can refer to? I did refer the RAMASES interview guide to develop my program theory interview guide.
Please guide!
Regards
Monisha
