Reading Well helps people to understand and manage their health and wellbeing using self-help reading. The scheme is delivered via quality-assured booklists endorsed by health experts, as well as people with lived experience of the health conditions covered. These lists are available from public libraries through either self-referral or referral by health professionals. This is the sixth annual evaluation of the programme in England and the first-year evaluation for Wales. The evaluation will focus on the following key areas: the programme's impact on users, libraries, health partners and prescribers; the reach of the programme; the cost benefits of the scheme as a health intervention; and the particular impact of the scheme being made available bilingually (English and Welsh). We expect that both quantitative and qualitative methods will be required. Key tasks will include: • Conducting quantitative and qualitative research on the Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme • Analysing and reporting on data and feedback related to the Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme for the final cumulative report • Advising on the development of survey tools to generate prescriber and library data about the use and impact of the scheme • Drawing comparisons between data in England and Wales and presenting identified trends • Reviewing the methodology used in the past and making general recommendations for future approaches that will effectively capture the high-level data needed to evaluate the programme as a whole, while retaining the ability to analyse localised trends Deadline for submissions: 12 March 2019 at 5 p.m. Budget: The total maximum budget available for this research project is £22,000 inclusive of VAT. Application details can be found in the ITT.
