Co-producing a Mixed Methods Evaluation to Assess a Menopause Educational Intervention

This case study evaluates a community-based education program about menopause for women in a district in northern England. The main evaluation goal was to assess the programme’s impact. To achieve this, the researchers used a mixed methods approach, involving key stakeholders in the design process during online meetings, working to co-productive values throughout the evaluation. Data was collected through various means, including case studies, learning logs, questionnaires, and interviews with both professionals and course attendees (demographic forms n=55; pre and post course questionnaires n= 5; learning logs n=7; observations n=5; case study n=3; professional interviews n=11 and course attendee interviews n=7). The evaluation produced detailed and diverse data. University ethical approval was obtained. The case study focuses on the online mixed methods evaluation, highlighting the process, benefits, and challenges of remote co-production, through the application of our own reflexive analysis as researchers.
