Background:
Interventions aimed at high-need families have difficulty demonstrating short-term impact on child behaviour. Measuring impact on use of services could provide short-term indication of longer term benefits.
Method:
During a feasibility pilot study we collected data on service use and attitudes to services from a small sample of parents from high-need families, before and after receiving the Helping Families Programme.
Results:
Respondents provided a range of opinions on a variety of social and community services received.
Conclusions:
The study demonstrates the potential of short-term changes in enhanced service use data for building hypotheses of longer term change.
