A process evaluation of the development and early implementation of a complex strategy to reduce serious youth violence in Lambeth

How they used Delve

Public-health researchers at London South Bank University used Delve across the strands of a process evaluation of Lambeth Made Safer, coding 29 policy documents, focus groups with 11 participants, and interviews with two to four researchers per strand and organising themes collaboratively, including with peer researchers.

“A coding framework was developed inductively by four researchers and the peer researchers: both peer researchers conducted broad coding on one transcript which supported the development of the coding framework. Data were coded on Delve software by four researchers and were organised into themes collaboratively by the team”
