Readable Research – Results at your fingertips…

If you want to read up on a Fuse research project to get an overview of it in straightforward language, then this part of the website, which links to Fuse case studies, is for you.

What is a Fuse case study?

A Fuse case study is written by finding out from the researchers directly involved about the project. Fuse case studies describe aspects of the research, examples of which include, the processes and people involved, the outcomes, and the implications for practice. The aim is to make the projects included more accessible to readers in general.

What Fuse case studies are available now?

• AESOPS – The effectiveness and cost effectiveness of opportunistic screening and stepped care interventions for older hazardous alcohol users in primary care

• Health Trainers – Exploring the processes of client engagement and health behaviour change in the NHS health trainers initiative: a comparative, qualitative study to inform the intervention, development and evaluation

• The use of Lean methods for service improvement in the early diagnosis of lung cancer; a realistic evaluation

• Implementing Care Planning for Long Term Conditions – a formative evaluation

This is an evolving story and, as more case studies are added, a cumulative library of these will be available on web-links from this page.

What if I have a comment or question about a case study?
