Methodology
Throughout the seven years of the Programme, we
• developed a common outcomes framework to direct our review of the 36
projects' annual evaluation reports
• coded and analysed key findings from the reports
• conducted structured interviews with projects and, latterly, parents
• conducted focus groups with grant holders and funding officers
• drew out common themes around three developing areas of interest:
1) what adversities families in Northern Ireland are facing
2) what good prevention/early intervention family support looks like
3) what enables and hinders implementation of prevention / early
intervention family support services.
