Understanding the underlying principles, processes and application of
realist review and realist evaluation
A new accredited short course part of the Postgraduate Evidence-Based
Health Care programme
In health care and many other fields of research, interventions are
often described as being complex and have outcomes that are dependent on
context. When these complex interventions fail to achieve their desired
outcomes, the explanation frequently provided is because they are both
complex and context dependent.
If you want to be able to explain and understand how, why, for whom, to
what extent and in what contexts complex interventions or programmes
‘work’, then this course is for you.
Realist research approaches (realist evaluation or realist review) can
help make sense of these types of interventions or programmes. The
approaches are theory driven – developing structurally coherent
explanations of interventions and test these against empirical data.
This course will provide participants with a firm grounding in realist
review (or synthesis) and realist evaluation. Participants who have
completed the course should then be able to apply their new knowledge
and skills to their own realist research project, regardless of which
field of research they come from.
