abstract: 'Aim This paper describes a process evaluation that was conducted
alongside a randomized controlled trial of out-of-home pre-school day
care. The evaluation aimed to: (1) describe the intervention; (2)
document the day care received by participating families; (3) describe
the social context of the trial; and (4) provide data to assist in the
interpretation of trial outcomes.
Methods The setting for the trial was an out-of-home day care Centre in
Hackney, East London. Process data were collected through the use of
questionnaires, interviews, and researcher field-notes. Data from
questionnaires were collected from 120 mothers and included data on 143
children. Interviews were undertaken with 21 participating mothers.
Staff also completed questionnaires and the Head of the Centre was
interviewed. The quality of care provided was assessed using the Early
Childhood Environment Rating Scale.
Results Process data collected during the trial suggest that the day
care provided was education-led, flexible in catering to families''
needs, and was of a very high quality. The social context of the trial
resulted in financial pressures, which may well have influenced the
intervention provided. Data collected through in-depth interviews
suggested that it may be the flexibility of day care that is
particularly important in allowing women to return to paid employment,
but that the loss of benefits when starting work may have meant no
increase in household income.
Conclusion The paper illustrates the value of conducting a process
evaluation alongside a randomized trial, particularly where complex
interventions are involved. In this case, where the intervention was not
provided by the research team, the evaluation allowed an insight into
the content of a multifaceted intervention, which is useful in
interpreting the trial''s results, and in explaining the possible effects
of the social context on the intervention.'
