Our goal is to rigorously evaluate and validate the three versions of the MultiModal Narrative intervention. To achieve this goal, we carry out three different types of studies:
Co-creation studies: We describe the process of design and development of the interventions
Implementation evaluation studies: We report the levels of satisfaction (acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness) among the agents involved in the intervention (e.g., teachers, students, families)
Effectiveness evaluation studies: We report whether there has been an improvement in the trained skills, based on direct measures taken before and after the intervention period
Below you will find the references to the studies we have published in relation to the three versions of the MMN. You will also find posters that we have presented at various national and international conferences.
