Hi all, I just started my PhD using realist evaluation for health information systems implementation. My question is one step behind Sweatha's question. I'm in the phase of synthesize the program theories. Is it possible to write a paper on the process/approach? And is there any of you aware of realist manuscript focusing on program theories development and/or testing? Any help or answer will be appreciated!
