Operational Research

HRDC is responsible for collection and analysis of quantitative data from treatment and control households, taking a Randomized Control Trial approach.

ResultsinHealth was responsible for the qualitative research generating data through:

• Key Informant Interviews (KII);
• In-depth Interviews (IDI);
• Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and;
• the Most Significant Change (MSC) methods.

Our research explores the impact pathways of the intervention and is designed to enrich the quantitative findings from the HRDC’s Randomized Control Trial. Findings will be published in a scientific journal.

Stories of change, including improvements related to PKH’s CCT school attendance and health-related conditionalities, were collected and analysed.  The MSC technique was effective for bringing to light, in a retrospective manner, key changes attributable to PKH. During our process, we stimulated participation and dialogue between different stakeholders, included women as main beneficieries and others, through discussions of stories of change. Key findings of the research focused on the PKH programme’s effectiveness in reaching its intended goal, reducing poverty while building human capital.

To improve outcomes, RiH’s used various qualitative research methods to identify the pathways taken by young people to access SRH services in urban, suburban and rural areas in DI Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The results of the OR, which included concrete recommendations on investments needs for increasing uptake of SRH services by young Indonesians, were presented at the International Conference of Family Planning in Bali, Indonesia, January 2016. In conducting this assignment, ResultsinHealth collaborated with Indonesian partner organisations, independent local consultants, and a local consultancy network.

RiH conducted an inventory of HIV/STI prevention interventions targeted at MSM in Europe and North America and analysed available evidence and highlighted trends. Results of this project were published as in an ECDC technical report and presented at national, regional and international conferences.
