In the wider context of evaluation research in healthcare, randomised controlled trials are a common design. However, process evaluation methods have become increasingly common, influenced by developments such as guidance on the evaluation of complex health interventions.

This presentation explores the development of process evaluation generally, discusses the key features of this approach, and reflects on challenges and recommendations for using process evaluation in health research.
