尽管越来越多的人呼吁建立强有力的证据基础，但对于评估艺术对健康和福祉影响的适当方法还没有达成明确的共识。委员和利益相关者经常需要可衡量结果的证据，但定量评估并不能提供影响的完整画面，也不能解释艺术的效果。此外，结果和影响评估必须与过程评估相平衡，以指导实践的发展。从业者在应对这些问题时面临着重大挑战，包括评估能力、知识、技能和资源。本文报道了一个通过生成知识、资源和评估支持来支持艺术和健康领域的项目。一家艺术与健康咨询公司与一所大学之间为期两年的知识转移合作伙伴关系（KTP）探讨了评估问题并与从业者一起制定了策略。开发了一种指导性评估模型，其中外部评估者与从业者一起在迭代过程中工作。虽然为此类合作伙伴提供资源具有挑战性，但我们的项目表明，它们可以加强可持续评估，为当地调试提供证据，并为长期研究议程做出贡献。
Despite increasing calls for a robust evidence base, there is no clear consensus surrounding appropriate methodologies for evaluation of the impact of arts on health and well-being. Commissioners and stakeholders often require evidence of measurable outcomes, but quantitative evaluation does not provide a complete picture of impact, neither can it explain the effects of arts. Further, outcomes and impact evaluation must be balanced with process evaluation to guide the development of practice. Practitioners face significant challenges in responding to these issues, including evaluation capacity, knowledge, skills and resources. This article reports on a project that supported the arts and health field by generating knowledge, resources and support for evaluation. A two-year Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between an Arts and Health consultancy and a University explored evaluation issues and developed strategies with practitioners. A guided evaluation model, in which external evaluators worked alongside practitioners in an iterative process, was developed. While resourcing such partnerships is challenging, our project demonstrates that they can strengthen sustainable evaluation, generating evidence for local commissioning as well as contributing to longer-term research agendas.
