Evaluation
The evaluation team enables a better understanding of the reach and impacts of Scotland’s policies and actions that are intended to improve health and reduce health inequalities.
We evaluate our policies and programmes to generate a better understanding of how they work, who they reach, and what effects they have. We use the learning from evaluations to inform future decision-making and improve practice.
The work of the evaluation team covers the following areas:
Outcomes Planning
We work with colleagues and partners to develop robust, plausible, outcome-focused plans for Health Improvement priority areas.
