How the programme unfolded
The account in sequence, from request to what followed.
- 01Background
The change the programme aimed at
Before delivery, the team defined what change would be looked for, for whom, and over what period. Naming this in advance prevents the common error of searching for a positive result after the fact and presenting whatever appears as the intended outcome.
- 02Method
How evidence was gathered
Responses were collected using an agreed measure at defined points, with the group and period recorded alongside. The sample and denominator were noted so a reader can see how many people the figure represents rather than inferring a total.
- 03Findings
What the evidence supports
The evidence describes the experience of the participants who responded, over the stated period. A positive response to a session is treated as evidence of immediate experience, not of sustained change, and is reported in those terms.
- 04Limits
What the evidence cannot show
No comparison group was available, so improvement cannot be attributed to the programme alone. Other influences during the period are acknowledged. Where the evidence does not support a conclusion, the entry states the limitation instead of narrowing the claim quietly.
An outcome describes a change in experience, knowledge, confidence, behaviour, access or another defined area. It must be clear whose experience is being described and over what period. The same outcome should not be implied for people or settings that were not part of the evidence.
A responsible outcome account explains the measure, source, sample or denominator, comparison point where available and the limitations that affect interpretation. A positive response to a session can be useful evidence of immediate experience; it is not automatically evidence of long-term change.
Thrivewell will distinguish what the organisation delivered from what participants experienced and what may have contributed to change. Where evidence is limited, that limitation remains part of the story.
