  • Collective Capability Within Indigenist Evaluation

    Open AccessBobby Maher, Jill Guthrie et al.ARTICLEEvaluation Journal of Australasia2026Referencias: 8

    Evaluation is essential for assessing whether policy and program outcomes align with their intended goals. A key critique of Western evaluation approaches is their failure to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. Developing an Indigenist evaluation concept can enhance evaluation quality by recognising Indigenous perspectives. This study draws on Indigenous Lifeworlds as a theoretical basis to explore the idea of ‘collective cap…

  • Activating Indigenous ways’ – perceptions of how Australian Indigenous health and wellbeing program evaluations are commissioned and future recommendations

    Open AccessSummer May Finlay, Amohia Boulton et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2025

    To improve the quality of evaluations further attention needs to be paid to the commissioner's cultural capability. Additionally, Commissioners need to develop their understanding of the relationship between Commissioner and Indigenous people's power and the utility of evaluations

  • A scoping review of commissioning practices used in the evaluation of Indigenous health and wellbeing programs

    Open AccessSummer May Finlay, Amohia Boulton et al.ARTICLEEvaluation Journal of Australasia2023

    Despite the billions of dollars invested in improving Indigenous health and wellbeing outcomes in Australia, there is little evidence of program effectiveness to inform policy and practice. 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…

  • Built Environment Features and Cardiometabolic Mortality and Morbidity in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Northern Territory, Australia

    Open AccessAmal Chakraborty, Margaret Cargo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Indigenous Australians experience poorer health than non-Indigenous Australians, with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) being the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Built environmental (BE) features are known to shape cardiometabolic health in urban contexts, yet little research has assessed such relationships for remote-dwelling Indigenous Australians. This study assessed associations between BE features and CMD-related morbidity and mortal…

  • Prioritizing Built Environmental Factors to Tackle Chronic and Infectious Diseases in Remote Northern Territory (NT) Communities of Australia

    Open AccessAmal Chakraborty, Peter Lekkas et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    High prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases in Indigenous populations is a major public health concern both in global and Australian contexts. Limited research has examined the role of built environments in relation to Indigenous health in remote Australia. This study engaged stakeholders to understand their perceptions of the influence of built environmental factors on chronic and infectious diseases in remote Northern Territory (NT) comm…

  • Built Environments and Cardiometabolic Morbidity and Mortality in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Northern Territory, Australia

    Open AccessCamille Le Gal, Michael J Dale et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    The health of Indigenous Australians is dramatically poorer than that of the non-Indigenous population. Amelioration of these differences has proven difficult. In part, this is attributable to a conceptualisation which approaches health disparities from the perspective of individual-level health behaviours, less so the environmental conditions that shape collective health behaviours. This ecological study investigated associations between the bui…

  • Strategies to support culturally safe health and wellbeing evaluations in Indigenous settings in Australia and New Zealand

    Open AccessMargaret Cargo, Gill Potaka-Osborne et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2019

    The results suggest that the commissioning of evaluation is crucial as it sets the stage for whether evaluations: reflect Indigenous interests, are planned in ways that align with Indigenous ways of working and are translated to benefit Indigenous communities Identified strategies align with health promotion principles and relational accountability values of Indigenous approaches to research. These findings may be relevant to the commissioning an…

    Quan Nha Hong, Sergi Fàbregue et al.ARTICLEEducation for Information2018

    INTRODUCTION: Appraising the quality of studies included in systematic reviews combining qualitative and quantitative evidence is challenging. To address this challenge, a critical appraisal tool was developed: the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The aim of this paper is to present the enhance ments made to the MMAT. DEVELOPMENT: The MMAT was initially developed in 2006 based on a literature review on systematic reviews combining qualitative…

  • Policy, Research and Residents’ Perspectives on Built Environments Implicated in Heart Disease

    Open AccessIvana Stankov, Peter Lekkas et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    An underrepresentation of stakeholder perspectives within urban health research arguably limits our understanding of what is a multi-dimensional and complex relationship between the built environment and health. By engaging a wide range of stakeholders using a participatory concept mapping approach, this study aimed to achieve a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the built environments shaping disease risk, specifically cardiometabolic ri…

  • Opalesence

    Open AccessMichelle Jones, Fiona Verity et al.ARTICLEEvaluation2016Referencias: 9

    The evaluation of complex systems-wide public health interventions requires evaluation research that is underpinned by theory. This article presents and discusses the trans-disciplinary evaluation research framework developed to support the evaluation of a South Australian program called OPAL (Obesity Prevention and Lifestyle). The aim is to provide insights into the research design, methods and implementation of the evaluation and contribute to …

  • Assessing community readiness online

    Open AccessIordan Kostadinov, Mark Daniel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Concurrent validity for the online method was supported for the Leadership dimension only. However, the online method holds promise as it reduces time and resource burden, allowing for a quicker return of results to the community to inform program planning, implementation and evaluations to improve community health

  • A realist evaluation of community-based participatory research

    Open AccessJustin Jagosh, Paula Louise Bush et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    These results add to other studies on improving the science of CBPR in partnerships with a high level of power-sharing and co-governance. Our results suggest sustaining CBPR and achieving unanticipated benefits likely depend on trust-related mechanisms and a continuing commitment to power-sharing. These findings have implications for building successful CBPR partnerships to address challenging public health problems and the complex assessment of …
