Thesis
Title: Program theory and use with application to echocardiographic screening for Rheumatic Heart Disease through task sharing.
My thesis is within the field of Implementation Science and explores the program theory underpinning screening for Rheumatic Heart Disease. I will use theory-based evaluation approaches such as theory of change and realist evaluation to answer the questions of how, why, for whom, under what circumstances, to what extent regarding RHD screening. To develop skills in this methodology I did pilot work co-designing a theory of change with teams in India and Indonesia. My fieldwork will be in Australia and East-Timor evaluating the NEARER SCAN study.
