The case for spatial analysis in evaluation to reduce health inequities

Author

  • Koschinsky, Julia

Abstract

The article begins by giving an overview of spatial thinking concepts that are relevant to evaluation. The article relates the spatial perspective to both a realist evaluation and a randomized control trial perspective in evaluation to demonstrate the benefits of a spatialized program and evaluation perspective. The article mainly suggests that the adoption of a spatial perspective can add new insights to the theory and practice of evaluation in ways that helps evaluation move closer to reducing health inequities.
