This article describes The Evidence of Impact Model that was recently developed to support the analysis of short- to medium-term impact arising from Participatory Action Research and Developmental Evaluation approaches that were used within the Evidence for Change initiative. Evidence for Change was a team capacity building initiative that supported rapid, bottom-up, evidence informed change in health and social care environments. To explain the need for The Evidence of Impact Model and outline how it was developed, a variety of similar models are explored and the challenges of capturing impact arising from Evidence for Change are discussed. The resulting new model based on the existing concept of micro, meso and macro levels of impact is outlined in detail with supporting qualitative evidence. The authors conclude that The Evidence of Impact Model provides an effective lens for exploring impact at a variety of levels within an emerging and complex environment.

跨越五个层次：影响模型的证据

本文介绍了最近开发的影响证据模型，该模型支持对变革证据倡议中使用的参与式行动研究和发展评估方法产生的中短期影响进行分析。变革证据是一项团队能力建设计划，支持快速、自下而上、以证据为依据的健康和社会护理环境变革。为了解释影响证据模型的必要性并概述它是如何开发的，我们探索了各种类似的模型，并讨论了捕捉变化证据产生的影响的挑战。由此产生的新模型基于现有的微观、中观和宏观影响水平的概念，并在支持定性证据的情况下进行了详细概述。
