Process evaluation
RECRUITMENT
In this study, we undertook a process evaluation alongside the outcome evaluation for the Toybox Study Malaysia. The process evaluations aimed to provide a more detailed understanding of the program to inform stakeholders on policy and practice implications [Implementation: the structures, resources, and processes through which the delivery was achieved, as well as the quantity and quality of what was delivered;Mechanisms of impact: how did the intervention activities and the participants’ interactions with them trigger the change;Context: how did external factors influence the delivery and functioning of the interventions in the programTo measure the quality and quantity of the program delivery under the implementation aspect, the evaluation of recruitment, retention, dosage delivered (completeness), and the dosage received (exposure and satisfaction) was performed. The mechanisms of impact were assessed based on fidelity, i.e. whether the intervention was implemented according to plan and what changes needed to be addressed. Under the context aspect, external factors including physical and social factors that affected the implementation of the program were evaluated via FGD with the teachers.
