S3E2 Are RCTs The Best Way to Evaluate Violence Interventions?
Manage episode 400658276 series 3330749
What works and what doesn’t in reducing violence driven by gender inequality? While many teams around the world search for the perfect intervention methods to address this pervasive issue, finding out whether those interventions actually work is extremely difficult.
In this episode we discuss the effectiveness and drawbacks of complex evaluation methods, like randomised controlled trials, and learn why they may not capture the nuance and complexity of violence interventions. The panel shares their experiences of RCTs and other unique methods of evaluating interventions. And we hear why greater collaboration and openness is needed, as intervention teams are encouraged to share their methods more widely.
Our guests are:
Lucie Cluver, Professor at Oxford University in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation
Laxman Belbase, global co-director of the MenEngage Alliance.
Your hosts are:
Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI
Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
