Abstract
Over the past few years, levels of mental health problems among children and adolescents have risen alongside an increased demand for services, which has driven the demand for a transformative systems change in how child and adolescent mental health services are delivered. Theory of change methodology is a valuable approach for advancing systems change. This article describes the theory of change process to evaluate a strategic partnership approach to advancing systems change improvements in child and adolescent’s mental health. This article describes the development and application of a theory of change methodology for these strategic partnerships, discussing the benefits derived from developing the theory of change and its use by the programme staff and evaluation team. This article also discusses the challenges and limitations of using this approach and recommendations for use more widely.
期刊介绍:
Performance Evaluation functions as a leading journal in the area of modeling, measurement, and evaluation of performance aspects of computing and communication systems. As such, it aims to present a balanced and complete view of the entire Performance Evaluation profession. Hence, the journal is interested in papers that focus on one or more of the following dimensions:
-Define new performance evaluation tools, including measurement and monitoring tools as well as modeling and analytic techniques
-Provide new insights into the performance of computing and communication systems
-Introduce new application areas where performance evaluation tools can play an important role and creative new uses for performance evaluation tools.
More specifically, common application areas of interest include the performance of:
-Resource allocation and control methods and algorithms (e.g. routing and flow control in networks, bandwidth allocation, processor scheduling, memory management)
-System architecture, design and implementation
-Cognitive radio
-VANETs
-Social networks and media
-Energy efficient ICT
-Energy harvesting
-Data centers
-Data centric networks
-System reliability
-System tuning and capacity planning
-Wireless and sensor networks
-Autonomic and self-organizing systems
-Embedded systems
-Network science
