In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions brought increased risk of family violence and service demand. When face-to-face groups became impossible under restrictive public health orders, the Men’s Behaviour Change Program provided by Relationships Australia Victoria was delivered using videoconferencing technology. We describe a developmental evaluation approach to the adaptation of the Men’s Behaviour Change Program to online delivery. Developmental evaluation can inform innovation in complex environments and emphasises learning and adaptation at program development phase. We demonstrate the application and utility of this approach to the rapid adaptation of social services for online delivery. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from participants, facilitators and external observers and subjected to regular collaborative review to inform practice development. The results point to a steep learning curve, during which facilitators and observers identified practices to support effective online delivery of the Program. The evaluation indicated that, following adaptations, Program objectives were achievable using this method of delivery and positive dynamics remained possible in online groups. This finding is consistent with the current No to Violence position that online men’s behaviour change programs have an important and ongoing role in the specialist family violence services sector.","PeriodicalId":198148,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation of Journal of Australasia","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135534989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deficiency of evaluations is problematic. Critical to this process is the effective engagement of commissioners with Indigenous peoples, which is not well documented. Currently, there is scant evidence on modes of commissioning practices used. This scoping review will aim to identify the spectrum of commissioning practices used when evaluating Indigenous health and wellbeing programs in Australia, codifying them into a model set. Documents (between 2008 and 2020) will be retrieved from Scopus, Proquest, Informit, Google Scholar and via a web-based search that refers to the commissioning of Indigenous health and wellbeing program evaluations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the United States. Importantly, the research team is Indigenous-led and the project’s governance, quality and translation framework will be informed by a project advisory group, including Indigenous associates. This will be the first scoping review globally to identify practices used to commission Indigenous health and wellbeing program evaluations. Results will be utilised to strengthen the commissioning practices of Indigenous health and wellbeing programs in Australia and overseas.","PeriodicalId":198148,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation of Journal of Australasia","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136264456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
