Abstract: Evaluation, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 208-227, April 2023.
Early parenting programmes which promote nurturing care for children aged 0–3 years are popular in community-based primary health care settings. However, little research has explored the causal and theoretical assumptions underpinning these programmes. This paper outlines a programme theory evaluation which was conducted to explore the change principles inherent in a complex early parenting intervention, the parent and infant programme, which aims to support parents and infants aged 0–2 years. A documentary analysis and qualitative interviews (n = 19) with key stakeholders were undertaken to describe programme components, outline intervention objectives and identify the mechanisms assumed to be important to programme success. The interpretation of the findings was informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, within which we explore and describe the theoretical perspectives that underpin the programme and guide its operationalisation and delivery. The importance of attending to the causal mechanisms underlying early parenting interventions is outlined.

Abstract: Evaluation, Ahead of Print.
Practitioners implementing and evaluating humanitarian programs in conflict zones face unique challenges requiring context-sensitive guidance. Conflict zones—geographical areas with militarized and non-militarized violence, widespread political instability, and state-sanctioned intimidation and genocidal violence—are rife with logistical, methodological, and ethical challenges that impact implementation and evaluation. Although challenges have been well-documented, few solutions or evaluation frameworks exist to help evaluators in conflict zones confront these challenges. This article examines how the application of implementation science frameworks, specifically, Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, offers useful strategies to mitigate some challenges in conducting evaluations in conflict zones. Areas for future research include collaborative team approaches to using these frameworks, ethical guidance, and reporting and dissemination.

Abstract: Evaluation, Ahead of Print.
Developmental Outcome Monitoring and Evaluation (DOME) is a mixed and participatory method for the impact assessment of complex and innovative programmes. It has been developed and is being applied in Italy for the evaluation of interventions to combat juvenile educational poverty. The methodological process focuses on the detection of strategic change (outcomes) implemented by key actors in complex programmes, implemented in diverse geographical areas and managed by public–private partnerships. DOME combines methodological approaches already in use in the field of monitoring and evaluation – theory of change, counterfactual analysis and developmental evaluation and trailing research – in new ways.

Abstract: Evaluation, Ahead of Print.
One of the most dominant trends in the field of evaluation in recent years is the institutionalization of evaluation under headlines such as “evaluation culture,” “evaluation policy,” and “evaluation systems.” There has been less interest in how evaluation systems can be changed, modified, or improved, not to mention deinstitutionalized, if necessary. Can a variety of stakeholders deliberate about the consequences of an evaluation system, and can it lead to policy change' A case study of a ministerial advisory group on national tests in Denmark shows how specific challenges were dealt with, such as the design of the deliberative process, the potential dominance of experts, and the distinction between technical-evaluative and practical-political arguments, and how these maneuvers paved the way for policy change. Based on the case study, the article discusses the prospects for democratic deliberation about evaluation systems.

Abstract: Evaluation, Ahead of Print.
While evaluations play a critical role in accounting for and learning from context, it is unclear how evaluations can take account of climate change. Our objective was to explore how climate change and its interaction with other contextual factors influenced One Health food safety programs. To do so, we integrated questions about climate change into a qualitative evaluation study of an ongoing, multi-sectoral program aiming to improve pork safety in Vietnam called SafePORK. We conducted remote interviews with program researchers (n = 7) and program participants (n = 23). Based on our analysis, researchers believed climate change had potential impacts on the program but noted evidence was lacking, while program participants (slaughterhouse workers and retailers) shared how they were experiencing and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Climate change also interacted with other contextual factors to introduce additional complexities. Our study underscored the importance of assessing climate factors in evaluation and building adaptive capacity in programming.

Abstract: Evaluation, Ahead of Print.
This article presents an application of the causal inference approach to mediation analysis using the example of a complex intervention that aimed to improve the quality of care at health centres in Uganda. Mediation analysis is a statistical method that aims to isolate the causal mechanisms that make an intervention work in a given context. We combined data from a cluster randomized control trial and a mixed-methods process evaluation. We developed two causal models following our hypotheses of how the intervention was intended to work through mechanisms at health centres to improve health outcomes in the community. In adjusted analyses, there was evidence of an effect of the intervention on some health centre mechanisms; however, these did not lead to improvements in community health outcomes. We discuss the practical and epistemological challenges encountered when using mediation analysis to evaluate a complex intervention. These findings will inform future evaluations.Trial registration:The trial reported in this article is registered at: clinicaltrials.gov, NCT01024426.
