About the toolbox impact measures

Use the standard impact measures that are relevant to the participant, along with the standard demographic questions, to help you understand if different interventions are more effective for different groups.

The questions in the demographics questionnaire were developed based on national standard questions and modifications that were tested with a citizen involvement panel.

  • You should not change the questions in the questionnaires, but you can ask them in different ways depending on the:
  • intervention
  • setting
  • target group
