External Evaluation - Phase 3

Evaluating the Impact of the Phase 3 Tobacco and Inequalities Project Targeting Minority Ethnic Communities, Mental Health and Well-being, and Older Adults.

ASH Scotland commissioned the Scottish Centre for Research on Social Justice (SCRSJ), based at the University of Glasgow, to conduct the external evaluation of the Phase 3 work. SCRSJ worked closely with the projects, all pertinent ASH Scotland staff and any nominated partners to conduct a process and impact / outcome evaluation of the funded projects, and to establish pieces of good practice that can be replicated and rolled out across Scotland.

The two-year evaluation has now been completed and includes three Case Study reports, which represent each of the groups targeted by the project.

The Final Report, Appendices and Case Study reports are now available as separate pdf files for downloading:
