What Works, for Whom, in What Circumstances and Why, When Integrating Voluntary and Statutory Community Mental Health Services
Integrating services using a culture change model addresses gaps in mental health care. Optimal implementation requires addressing contextual barriers
Clarifying realist analytic and interdisciplinary consensus processes in a complex health intervention
Judgemental rationality is infrequently referenced within discussions of Realist Evaluations. Judgemental rationality refers to researchers’ capacity to assess which, potential, meanings provide the most credible explanations.

The success of an intervention is dependent on the extent to which it gels or jars with exis…
