The evaluation was guided by a core set of questions which the evaluation sought to address – three outcomes evaluation questions and three process evaluation questions.
The outcomes evaluation questions were organised around the three core outcomes identified in the program logic:
- To what extent does CDC enhance community-based care for care recipients and carers?
- To what extent is CDC person-centred, and how does it increase consumer choice and control?
- Is CDC equitable and providing value for money?
- How effective were the CDC initiation processes?
- How effective were the CDC planning processes?
- How effective is the delivery of CDC?
