Evaluation purpose and approach

The aims of the outcomes evaluation were to identify and critically review:

• the evidence that Healthy Housing had made a difference in the risk and rate of housing-related diseases, conditions and injuries, and improved wellbeing
• the outcomes that Healthy Housing has achieved
• any barriers to Healthy Housing achieving expected and unexpected outcomes.

The research approach had two components:

• A review of the intervention logic and outcomes framework for Healthy Housing which resulted in all the evaluation questions being linked to the intervention logic and outcomes framework.  Answers to the evaluation questions are analysed and provide the basis for assessing Healthy Housing's achievements.
• Over three years 44 recipient households and 18 providers of the Healthy Housing interventions were interviewed on multiple occasions.  In the second year of the evaluation an additional 24 key stakeholders who engaged with Healthy Housing were interviewed.
