Intervention Evaluation Methods • Data collection strategies • Document review, in‐depth interviews, and focus groups with health professionals involved in the program • Adaptation of Guichard and Ridde’s 2009 tool: “Une grille d’analyse des actions pour luttercontre les inégalitéssociales de santé” (grid to analyze actions to fight against social inequities in health)
Adaptation/application of tool • Revising the language • Discussing/research team/testing • Validating the adaptation of the tool with one of the authors • Developing a five element scale • Applying the tool to two health promotion interventions
Discussion The tool facilitates… • The advancement of knowledge and methods in health promotion • The development of health promotion interventions that are multidimensional To be more effective… • The tool should be used by evaluators and practitioners prior to starting the health promotion intervention
