Following agaps analysis, undertaken by members of the steering committee, the RhED Consulting teamundertook the final three steps.The six-steps were:1. A document review and analysis2. The development of draft report3. A gap analysis of the draft report4. Interviews with key stakeholders5. Collation and analysis of materials6. Development of a final report.2.1 The evaluation frameworkIn 2004-05, a Public Health Education and Research Program (PHERP) Innovations Grant wasused to develop a framework for the evaluation of both the NTPCDS and the North QueenslandIndigenous Chronic Disease Strategy (28) . The framework included strategies for both a processevaluation of implementation processes, and an outcome evaluation, each to be carried out attwo levels – health system and community level, plus the broader public policy environmentwithin which the health systems operate.The NTPCDS evaluation was intended to serve two purposes:• to test the evaluation framework developed for a chronic disease strategy (described below),and• to gather data relating to implementation and outcomes of the strategy in the NorthernTerritory.Therefore the primary objective of the evaluation framework was to identify, describe andunderstand the relationships between the implementation processes, the contextual factors andthe program outcomes; and then to report on these in a manner that facilitates: ongoing improvements in relevant components of the strategyChapter 2: Evaluation Methodology – Evaluation of the NT Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy 2007 13
