Where to measure success | Possible approaches to measuring whether we have been successful |
---|---|
Program organization | ● Brief survey asking the requestor to evaluate key features of the rapid-response program (administered after receipt of rapid synthesis) |
● Short qualitative interviews with requestors (conducted approximately 6 months following receipt of rapid synthesis) | |
Final product (i.e. did the rapid synthesis meet the requestor’s needs?) | ● Brief survey asking the requestor to evaluate key features of the rapid synthesis |
● Short qualitative interviews with requestors asking questions about what was most and least helpful about the synthesis (6 months following receipt of rapid synthesis) | |
Influence on behavioural intention to find and use research evidence | ● Assessment of behavioural intention (and the attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioural control that influence whether such intention translates into action) after receiving the rapid synthesis and 6 months later (assessed in survey administered after receipt of rapid synthesis and again during the short qualitative interviews 6 months later) |
Whether and how the synthesis was used (i.e. did it support evidence-informed decision-making?) | ● Short qualitative interviews with requestors about how they used the rapid synthesis (conducted 6 months following receipt of rapid synthesis) |
