The core aim of the evaluation is to assess whether the co-designed Roadmap has influenced policy & practice within the mental health ecosystem.
The Roadmap implementation evaluation is being undertaken across seven Stages. Stage 1, evaluating mental health sector awareness & uptake of Roadmap constituents (such as the Consensus Statement) is under way as a series of surveys. The protocol for the remaining Stages is being finalised. Stages 2–5 will involve surveys & interviews with key stakeholders across ALIVE and the mental health ecosystem; evaluating awareness, adoption, engagement, environmental context, implementation outcomes and long-term behaviour change in conjunction with the Roadmap. Stages 2-5 will be co-designed with key ALIVE stakeholders. Stage 6 & 7 evaluate uptake of the Roadmap through referencing in national documentation (e.g. policy & practice).
