The purpose of this evaluation guide is to provide easy-to-understand information on scoping an evaluation for men’s behaviour change programs (MBCPs) focusing on men who use domestic and family violence (DFV).

This evaluation guide aims to improve the technical knowledge for personnel involved in the implementation of MBCPs who might be involved in commissioning an external evaluation or conducting an in-house evaluation. Upon working through this evaluation guide, readers should:

• understand the purposes of conducting quality evaluations of MBCPs
• be able to develop a program logic and articulate appropriate evaluation questions
• be aware of a range of methodologies available to answer the evaluation questions
• gain an awareness of the important considerations in designing an evaluation of MBCPs
• be aware of the ethical issues that need to be considered when commissioning or conducting an evaluation of an MBCP.
