This Yorkshire and Humber ARC PhD aims to facilitate the translation of complex interventions into routine care for older people, by tackling key issues in their design and implementation.
The key stages are:
- A systematic overview of process evaluations of randomised trials of complex older patient interventions, examining how mechanisms of action, fidelity, and context relate to intervention effectiveness
- A systematic overview of protocols and reports from trials of complex older patient interventions, evaluating applicability to routine service settings
- Interviews with health and social care service leads for older adults, considering whether and how certain evaluated complex interventions can be adapted to their populations, problems, and settings.
This project is currently ongoing.
