An action-oriented public health framework to reduce financial strain and promote financial wellbeing in high-income countries
The Framework reveals the intersectionality of root causes and consequences of financial strain and poor financial wellbeing, while also reinforcing the need for tailored actions to promote socioeconomic and health equity for all people. The dynamic, systemic interplay of the entry points illustrated in the Framework suggest opportunities for multi-sectoral, collaborative action across government and organizations towards systems change and the p…
Building the case for water and resource recovery in Canada
Water and resource recovery (WRR) involves the collection and treatment of rainwater, stormwater, and/or municipal wastewater to a fit-for-purpose standard. There is no national policy for WRR in Canada, and there are minimal WRR-specific provincial regulations; given this lack of regulation, current projects are highly specific to the local context and approved individually. We engaged people who work with water and wastewater services in the pr…
UEval
This practice note describes the unique features of, and lessons learned from, UEval, an innovative one-week “evaluation institute” at the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta. This initiative responds to an identified community and university need to provide contextual and socially relevant evaluation-focused educational opportunities to learners across disciplines and sectors. UEval is guided by principles of participatory and experienti…
Using knowledge brokering to produce community-generated evidence
Background: Devolution and integration of health and social care have placed increasing pressure on local statutory services, with a corresponding shift of health and social care to community organisations. The voluntary and charitable sector (VCS) is expected to make the case for increased funding by providing evidence of value and impact. Aims and objectives: This paper explores the challenges of compiling evidence on health outcomes which do n…

Critical Connections between Participatory Evaluation, Organizational Learning and Intentional Change in Pluralistic Organizations
The current debate around the emergence of participatory approaches in evaluation practice suggests that participatory evaluation may be considered an organizational learning praxis, one which facilitates the development of a holistic process of intentional change. Through critical reflection on how participatory evaluation has been conceptualized, this article offers an overview of some of the contextual challenges encountered when using partici…
Telling stories from everyday practice, an opportunity to see a bigger picture
In spite of laws, rules and routines, findings from Swedish as well as international research show that discharge planning is not a simple matter. There is considerable knowledge about discharge planning, but the quality of the actual process in practice remains poor. With this in mind, a research and developmental health and social care network decided to use participation action research to explore the discharge planning situation in order to g…
Methodological Issues in Emergent Evaluations of Health Programs
There has been growing interest in nonmainstream approaches to assessing health programs, but methodological strategies have not been a concern. In this article, we review methodological strategies used in emergent evaluations of health policies and programs in Iberoamerica, focusing on participatory, qualitative, critical, hermeneutical, bottom-up, collaborative, and transdisciplinary approaches. A literature search was performed combining strat…
The challenge of combining ‘lay’ knowledge with ‘evidence-based’ practice in health promotion
‘Lay’ knowledge is important for developing socially appropriate health-promotion practices. However, the current emphasis on evidence-based practice privileges expert and experimental knowledge over experiential and local. In practice, the integration of the two forms of knowledge is a negotiated process. A process evaluation of ‘Fag Ends’, a smoking cessation service, provides a case study of how lay advisers tried to integrate National Health …

Towards a Framework for the Evaluation of Health-related Policies in Cities
The aim of this paper is to develop an evaluation framework which will offer some guidance in evaluating health-related policies at the city level. The emphasis of the framework lies on the evaluation of the processes and conditions under which health-related policies are formulated, implemented, facilitated or restrained. Several key issues that underpin the proposed evaluation framework are discussed, such as the politics associated with the ev…

Appropriate approaches to the evaluation of health promotion
Appropriateness depends on an alignment of evaluation practice with the tenets of contemporary health promotion, including the notions of participation, community control and respect for people not as unthinking objects of research but as partners in knowledge development. In defining appropriateness three issues lie at the heart of the debate: what is being evaluated (the nature of health promotion programmes), appropriate for whom (who should g…

Tackling health inequalities and the HAZ Smoking Cessation Programme
This paper provides a critique of the present organization of the UK government's smoking cessation programme, examining the impact of policy on smoking cessation services. Using a case study of a new cessation service that was set up as a Health Action Zone (HAZ) programme, it argues that HAZ-based cessation services that have developed in light of the Smoking Kills White Paper fail to prioritize the needs of the most disadvantaged in society an…
A Longitudinal Study Exploring Liverpool Primary Schoolchildren's Perspectives on Smoking
A cohort study was designed to explore over 200 primary schoolchildren's (ages 4-7) perspectives on smoking in the context of their own lives and subsequently, to assess any changes in these perspectives over time. Results showed that, in general, the children had a negative disposition about the habit, which did not dissipate over the 3-year study period. They had a fairly substantive understanding of smoking, in particular of the consequences t…
