摘要
Background: Despite a consensus on the need to expand and improve mental health care for older people, evidence on models of service development is limited. Objective: Referring to two case studies, this paper considers how evaluation of service innovations can inform policy and practice. Conclusions: Evaluation should entail a dual concern with measurement and meaning in judging the value of an intervention. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
