Qualitative evaluation. The SPIFE IFE-6 Gel will be automatically scanned. Refer to the QuickScan Touch Plus Operator’s Manual for scanning parameters.
Qualitative evaluation. 3.1. Framework Providers will be required to submit a separate Tender Form for each Contract where they are eligible to bid. Responses need to be specific to the local area. Some local information can be accessed through the web link at paragraph 4.02 of the Specification.
Qualitative evaluation. The urine and CSF samples run on the SPIFE Split Beta SPE Gel can only be visually inspected for the presence of the bands.
Qualitative evaluation. The Contractor shall collate data regarding whether statutory expectations have been 'met fully', 'partially' or 'not at all', probing case-wide consistency. In addition, the Contractor shall establish whether weaknesses or strengths in this regard, concentrate around particular points in the case handling and decision making process. The Contractor shall note any significant differences between court areas, although findings here will be necessarily tentative given the sample size. This evaluative analysis shall include specific reference to the extent to which effective participation by children and parents (and other relevant parties) in the process and representation of their views and the evidence they wish to adduce has been ensured at each decision point. Finally, the Contractor shall map particular difficulties arising in each case and the nature of their resolution onto the decision making process in each case.
Qualitative evaluation. Data for Impact (D4I) will conduct a qualitative midterm evaluation of GKB-INECD to help understand what has worked, what has been challenging, and why, to enable USAID, and its multiple partners (including GKB-INECD implementers, the Ministry of Health, and social cluster ministries) to use the findings for adaptive programming and to fine tune current investments and prioritize future investments. D4I will focus on examining what facility- and community-based partners have learned through project-supported trainings and activities, how they understand their role and who they work with and how, and how they have operationalized their roles. We will also focus on determining what caregivers are learning through GKB activities about nutrition, ECD, rehabilitation, etc., as well as understanding, from a caregiver perspective, what their journeys have been from assessment/ identification of disability or other rehabilitation needs to referral and access to services, and providing care. This RFA was produced with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the terms of the Data for Impact (D4I) associate award 7200AA18LA00008, which is implemented by the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in partnership with Palladium International, LLC; ICF Macro, Inc.; Xxxx Xxxx, Inc.; and Tulane University. The views expressed in this RFA do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States government. The qualitative midterm evaluation will include case studies of four GKB-INECD districts, one from each cluster (eastern, central, western, southern). These districts will be purposively selected in consultation with USAID, GKB-INECD implementing partners, and the local research partner. Similarly, study participants will be purposively selected in collaboration with GKB-INECD and the local research partner. In addition to focus group discussions (FGDs) with community-based health workers and volunteers and caregivers of children aged 0-59 months, in depth interviews (IDIs) will be conducted with facility based healthcare providers and with caregivers of children with developmental delays and/or rehab/AT needs in each study district. A Most Significant Change (MSC) workshop (12-16 participants, 2 days total) will be held in each district with community- and facility-based health workers, along with GKB and district health staff. MSC is a participatory method in which multiple sta...
Qualitative evaluation. This is based on analysis of the time-distance graphs. The re-planning performed, and the simulations based on the execution of the new RTTP, can be studied. In a first step the analysis and evaluation are made by the researchers. In a later step the quality of the re-planning decisions will also be evaluated by experienced traffic controller from the TCC in Boden.
Qualitative evaluation. A qualitative evaluation of the SB-82 programs will also be conducted. These analyses will evaluate the programs’ ability to improve client experience of care and recovery outcomes (Goal 2), reduce recidivism and law enforcement expenditure (Goal 4), and expand recovery-oriented treatment options (Goal 5), as detailed in the logic model (see Appendix 2). Each of these goals will be explored with a range of stakeholders using semi- structured interviews focusing on the aims described below. In order to supplement the quantitative data in addressing Goal 2: “Improve experience, recovery outcomes, and reduce costs” the qualitative component of the evaluation will focus on the following aims: • To explore clients’ and family members’ experiences of receiving crisis care, and its subsequent impact on their lives. • To understand the impact of expanded crisis team deployment on mental health service provision and outcomes from the perspective of mental health providers. In addressing this goal from the perspective of clients and families, semi- structured interview guides will be developed to focus on client experiences of how they accessed the service, the nature of the care they received at the point of crisis, their experiences of linkage to any required additional services, how their overall experiences compares with previous crises that may have occurred prior to the SB-82 funded services being in operation, and their overall satisfaction in their service, including its impact on their path towards recovery. Examples of specific questions and prompts are detailed in the preliminary interview guides for clients (Appendix 8) and families (Appendix 9). In order to supplement the quantitative data in addressing Goal 4: “reduce recidivism and law enforcement expenditure,” the qualitative interviews will focus on the following aim: • To understand the system-level impact of expanded crisis team services on mental health and law enforcement service provision from the perspectives of mental health and law enforcement providers. In the interviews with the law enforcement partners, the primary topics of interest relevant to Goal 4 include exploring the impact of the collaboration with SB-82 programs on client receipt of services and outcomes, the impact of SB-82 services on their workflow as law enforcement officers, and their experience of working with families and caregivers. We will also inquire about their perception of how these programs impact public safety. Ex...
