Rubric: Quality practice elements for men’s behaviour change programs (MBCPs) in the Northern Territory

Abstract

This rubric is a tool developed as part of ANROWS’s <a href="https://www.anrows.org.au/project/evaluation-northern-territory-mens-behaviour-change-programs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Evaluation of the Northern Territory’s men’s behaviour change programs</a>. It is designed to accompany the <a href="https://anrows.intersearch.com.au/anrowsjspui/handle/1/23046" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quality Practice Elements for Men’s Behaviour Change Programs (MBCPs) in the Northern Territory</a> and will be useful to people funding, designing and delivering men’s behaviour change programs, and more broadly working to enhance community safety and wellbeing.<br><br>This rubric is a tool that can be used to guide users through a practical self-assessment, designed to lift the overall quality of a men’s behaviour change program (MBCP). The rubric is designed to support users through an assessment of quality practice in MBCPs using a rating matrix for each of the nine quality practice themes identified in the QPEs. It encourages users to outline evidence of quality practice, as well as enablers and barriers to quality practice, and supports programs to prioritise actions that will promote continuous improvement. It is useful for broader advocacy efforts to identify where additional resourcing or other support may be needed to achieve quality practice. The rubric should be used in conjunction with the QPEs.<br><br>See also <a href="https://anrows.intersearch.com.au/anrowsjspui/handle/1/23048" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Evaluation of the Northern Territory’s men’s behaviour change programs: Key learnings for policy and practice.</em></a>
