Protocol for evaluation of Movember's scaling what works grant funding program: Supporting the delivery of mental health interventions for men & boys in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental ill health among men and boys is a significant global issue, with barriers to recognising symptoms, seeking help, and accessing services. In response, Movember launched the Scaling What Works (SWW) grant funding in 2022. This initiative supports 17 diverse mental health projects across Australia, Canada, and the UK, targeting communities, schools, and workplaces to address the varied needs and contexts of men and boys.

Methods

Our evaluation protocol outlines the approach to assessing the SWW program across four domains: implementation, effectiveness, cost (implementation and cost-effectiveness), and scalability. Using the Intervention Scalability Assessment Tool (ISAT) as a framework, we aim to embed scalability considerations into the evaluation design. D
