PHAST System Evaluation of Healthy Place Shaping in Oxfordshire

We worked with colleagues from the Public Health Action Support Team to conduct a systems-based evaluation of an ambitious programme in Oxfordshire. Healthy Place Shaping aims to create sustainable, well designed and thriving communities, which provide a sense of belonging, and where all residents are supported to live healthier and happier lives. The evaluation took an action research approach and included numerous elements such as: interviews; surveys; system mapping; analysis of systems behaviours; social network analysis. A final report is due out later in 2023.
