This article draws parallels between this corporate model and the notion of evaluative thinking as well as adaptive evaluation approaches, demonstrates the interest from population health program and policy actors in adaptive practices and proposes a continuing opportunity for the evaluation profession in this space.","PeriodicalId":37231,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Journal of Australasia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48000057","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}

This approach avoids a deficit-based, gap-analysis of service shortcomings in favour of a strengths-based model through which services can draw on identified assets in planning future service initiatives. The approach discussed aims to identify and mobilise assets and strengths of people and services that promote quality outcomes, with a particular focus on those that address the deeply embedded health inequities for Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa). The asset model will be used to evaluate a rural service that is uniquely co-located with other health-related hospital services. This article aims to provide a commentary on the benefits of an asset-based approach to rural general practice evaluation.","PeriodicalId":37231,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Journal of Australasia","volume":"23 1","pages":"126 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45762702","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}

Deferring to an institutional review board (IRB) for ethical assessment when a project is underway can be impractical for community-based projects that are designed to be responsive to local needs and interests, especially when community leaders expect to have a meaningful say in determining what is the right thing to do. This article discusses a 2-year project in New Zealand, where community leaders and the project funder formed a project steering group to, among other things, provide ethical oversight. Ethical issues that arose during the project and the steering group’s role in considering the most suitable response are discussed and linked to literature about participatory ethics.","PeriodicalId":37231,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Journal of Australasia","volume":"23 1","pages":"91 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43968560","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}

It brings evaluation practice to a higher level of sophistication and utility and helps to ensure that evaluation findings, interpretations and recommendations are contextualised, evidence-based and practical. This article draws upon decades of the work of evaluators who have published on thinking critically and evaluatively. It identifies and explores the five primary elements of evaluative thinking – critical, contextual, creative, practical thinking and reflective practice – and offers a practical framework for examining and applying these elements of evaluative thinking. It also distinguishes evaluative thinking from evaluation planning and implementation, which it precedes and guides. Finally, it proposes that evaluative thinking should be examined and learned intentionally as a core evaluation skill just as, for example, various methodologies or methods of analysis are taught.","PeriodicalId":37231,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Journal of Australasia","volume":"23 1","pages":"70 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41369581","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}

However, for complex interventions, an additional outcome that must be considered is the essential system property that emerges as a result of the interaction of interdependent intervention components. By focusing on the emergent system property, evaluators are better able to assess the holistic effectiveness of a complex intervention. This article illustrates this principle through a comparative case study of a simple intervention and a complex intervention within a National Institute of Health (NIH) funded Clinical Translational Research center. The analysis illustrates that a more effective and appropriate evaluation results when a complex intervention, deemed to be operating and functioning as a system, is evaluated as a system than could have been achieved by treating each component as independent and evaluating the short-, mid-, or long-term outcomes of each component.","PeriodicalId":37231,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Journal of Australasia","volume":"23 1","pages":"101 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45653594","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}

Regarding foundational aspects of DEs, we experienced challenges with relationship building, assessing and responding to the context, and ensuring continuous learning. These challenges were related to suboptimal embeddedness of the evaluators within the evaluated projects. We adapted by leveraging online channels to maintain communications and securing stakeholder engagement by assuming non-traditional DE roles based on our knowledge of the context to support project goals. Additional challenges experienced with mapping the rationale and goals of the projects, identifying domains for assessment, collecting data, making sense of the data and intervening were adapted to by facilitating online workshops, collecting data online and through proxy evaluators, while sharing methodological insights within the evaluation team.

Initial reflections on the impact of COVID-19 drew out the negative effects of the pandemic and associated restrictions, which limited our ability to build rapport and stretched our capacity to balance work and home commitments. Deeper investigation revealed that the disaster pushed us to develop new ways of working that will augment and improve our future efforts.
