Outcome is often defined as the impact on someone that is attributable to an intervention. Outcomes can be a measure of knowledge and skill transfer, improvements in health and wellbeing, functioning, improved connection and relationships, desistance or reduction in offending behaviour. Developing the right outcome measure metrics for a prison based AOD programme should consider what recovery looks like and what steps are needed to get there. He Pou Tohutohu is an intermediate outcome measure integrating Māori knowledge and experiences with what we know works in AOD treatment and offence focused approaches. This presentation looks at the development of He Pou Tohutohu, its implementation in this early stage of validation and potential implications for the adopting of informed evidence based practice.
