本文讨论了一种方法来管理复杂的干预措施的评价。复杂的干预措施对评价的作用和进行构成重大挑战。特别是，它们将联合收割机与反射性学习和变化结合起来，产生了重大的不确定性，使得很难提前描述干预措施将做什么或结果可能是什么。这些不确定性的性质各不相同，解决这些不确定性导致不同的评价方法。这种评价往往是在“真实的时间”进行的，而且具有很强的形成性，这增加了挑战。本文提出了一种方法来解决这个问题，将不确定性和复杂性的概念纳入到一个理论的变化为基础的方法。
This article discusses an approach to managing the evaluation of complex interventions. Complex interventions pose significant challenges to the role and conduct of evaluations. In particular, they combine with reflexive learning and change to produce significant uncertainties making it hard to describe in advance what the intervention will do or what the outcomes might be. These uncertainties vary in nature and addressing these uncertainties leads to different evaluation approaches. That such evaluations often take place in 'real time' and have a strong formative dimension adds to the challenge. This article proposes a way of approaching this problem by incorporating the concepts of uncertainty and complexity into a Theory of Change-based approach.
