Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the Intervention Research Framework. In this chapter the background and development of the Intervention Research Framework is discussed along with an overview of the four phases of the Intervention Research Framework. The first phase of the Intervention Research Framework, the Notification phase, is discussed in greater detail using the SHAHRP study as an example. This section details the purpose of the Notification phase, sources of information that can contribute to the Notification phase and how researchers can identify a gap in their research field that is worthy of further study. The final section of this chapter discusses the value of developing relationships between researchers, policy makers and practitioners for the purposes of intervention research, and how these relationships might be initiated and maintained during each phase of the Intervention Research Framework. Objectives: By the end of this chapter readers will be able to:

  • Describe the background and development of the Intervention Research Framework

  • Identify the various phases of the Intervention Research Framework

  • Recognise descriptive and aetiological sources that can inform the Notification phase of the Intervention Research Framework to assist in identifying a gap in research, policy and/or practice

  • Describe other notification sources that contribute to building a strength of argument for conducing specific research

  • Identify how the SHAHRP study incorporated the Notification phase of the Intervention Research Framework in its intervention development and design

  • Describe the value of researcher and policy/practice professional interactions throughout all phases of the Intervention Research Framework.
