Health Promotion and Realist Evaluation Models

The book "Health Promotion and Realist Evaluation Models" by Leanne Boyd offers a comprehensive analysis of the development and implementation of a multimodal health program known as 'Ambulances for Asthma.' It addresses the challenges of program evaluation in healthcare and highlights the methodological aspects associated with assessing this specific program. Additionally, the author's personal evaluation journey is presented through autoethnographic approaches. The work includes six interconnected projects and concludes with a meta-evaluation of health promotion and realist evaluation models from the perspective of healthcare professionals and decision-makers. The aim is to determine the usefulness, feasibility, appropriateness, and accuracy of the various approaches in healthcare.
