IntroductionBackground to the Wheel of Wellbeing and DIY Happiness Course TheMentalHealthPromotionTeam(MHPT)atSouthLondonandMaudsleyNHSFoundationTrust(SLaM) developed a range of courses which use the Wheel of Wellbeing (WoW) framework toimprovepeople’sunderstandingofmentalhealthandwellbeing.TheWheelofWellbeingisavisualframeworkmadeupofsixthemesthatunderpinmental(andphysical)healthandwellbeing:body,mind,spirit,people,place,planet. It isasimpleapproachtopromotingpositivementalhealthandwellbeingbasedonresearchthatshowshowcertainpracticescanimprovemood,reducetheriskofdepression,strengthenourrelationshipsandkeepushealthy.
BoththeWheelofWellbeingandthefirstwaveofpromotionactivities(aseriesofeightworkshopsknown as ‘Do-It-Yourself Happiness’) were developed in 2009 as part of the Well LondonProgramme, a city-wide health improvement programme. Since then, WoW has grown into awebsitewithresourcesavailabletodownload,ahappinessgame,andaseriesofworkshopsrangingfromahalf-daytastertoafullDIYHappinessprogramme.

What is evaluation? Anevaluation isaseriesofactivitieswhere information issystematicallycollectedandanalysedtogaininsightsabouttheimpactofaservice.Itlooksatquestionssuchas:
- Istheservicedeliveringitsaimsandobjectives?- Howisitachievingtheseaimsandobjectives?- Whatshouldwechangetoimprovetheexperienceofpeopleusingtheservice?
Datacollectedcanbequantitative(numbers)orqualitative(words).Mostofthedatacollectedherewill be done through surveys to gain quantitative andqualitative data. Evaluation should be builtintoprogramdelivery,socoursefacilitatorsandadministratorsshouldbeabletoconductevaluationtasks (such as administering surveys, storing and entering data, analysing data). Evaluation tasksshouldnotbecometootime-intensiveforthosecollectingthedata,orforcourseparticipantswhoarecompletingsurveys.Evaluationshouldfitintothecontextoftheservice.
One important aspect ofDIYHappiness is thepotential ‘ripple effect’. Peoplewhohave attendedcourses in the past may deliver courses or activities inspired by DIY Happiness elsewhere. Inevaluating the programme it is important to understand the impact beyond attending the courseitself,i.e.,whatdopeopledoaftertheyhavecompletedthecourse?
Background to this document The information in this guidance comes from previous experience of evaluating DIY Happinesscourses. It is based on a Theory of Change which was developed to inform the programme (seeFigure1).PilotsurveysweredevelopedusingtheTheoryofChangemap.Thesewereadministeredto course attendees, and this data was analysed. These surveys have formed the basis of futureevaluationofDIYHappinesscourses.Eightattendeeswerealsointerviewedabouttheirexperienceofattending the course.The interview includedaquestionabout their ideas forevaluating futurecourses.

The following describes the recommended approach for evaluating thesecourses.
Forthesakeofsimplicity, it isbettertorestrictdatacollectiontoonlineformatonly,andtoavoidcollectingpersonalinformationontheforms.Surveysshouldalsobeoptimisedinamobile-friendlyformat,sincemanycourseattendeeswillbeabletocomplete itontheirphones.Thisreducestheriskofstoringpaperdata,andreducestheadministrativeburdenoffacilitatorsenteringdataonlinefrompaperrecords.Analternativemethodofcollectingthedataisoverthephonewiththecourseadministrator (who enters the data directly). At present, most communication with courseparticipants happens through email and (potentially) via thewebsite. There is aminimal risk thatcourseparticipantswillbedigitallyexcludedbecauseofthenatureoftheparticipantgroups.
1. Fullcourse
Whenwilldatabecollected?
Courseattendeeswillbeaskedtocompleteasurveybeforebeginningthecourse,whichiscalledabaseline survey, (see appendix 1a). Theywill also be asked to complete a ‘followup’ survey (twoweeks after theendof the course, see appendix 1b). In addition, course attendeeswill be sent apost-coursesurvey three to sixmonthsafter theendof thecourse.Thiswillaskabout theextenttheyhaveusedtheirlearningfromthecourse(seeappendix1c).
Whatdatawillbecollected?
Thebaselineand follow-up surveys include14 ‘standardisedquestions’ tomeasurewellbeing (theWarwick EdinburghMentalWell-Being Scale;WEMWBS). It also includes questions on a person’sunderstanding of wellbeing, their engagement with the six Wheel of Wellbeing concepts (body,mind,spirit,people,place,planet),andsatisfactionwiththeirlifeinrelationtoWheelofWellbeingconcepts,anddemographicquestions(thesearequestionsaboutcharacteristics,suchassomeone’sgenderorage).Previousexperience tellsus that theconnectionspeoplemakewithotherson thecourseisalsoimportant,sowehaveaddedaquestiononthis.Finally,thereisa‘postcoursesurvey’.Theaimistofindoutwhatpeoplehavedoneafterattendingthecourseanditshouldbesentthreetosixmonthsaftertheyattendedthecourse,itcanbecompletedinlessthanfiveminutes.
Baselinesurvey
Course attendees are typically contacted a week in advance by the course facilitator oradministrator,welcomingthemandprovidingdetailsofthecourse.Abaselinequestionnaireshouldbe emailed at the same time and course attendees will be asked to complete the survey onlinebefore their first session. Completing the survey relies on the recipient understanding Wheel ofWellbeing concepts, sowe recommendalso sendinga link to theWheelofWellbeingwebsite, soparticipantscanwatchtheshort introductoryvideoaboutthewheelandlearnmoreaboutitfromthesite.Courseattendeeswhohavenotcompletedthesurveybeforethecoursestartswillbeaskedto complete it at the first session.

Casestudies
Collectingcasestudiesforparticipantswouldbebeneficialwhenwantingtodemonstratethe‘rippleeffect’ of the course. The post-course survey provides an ideal opportunity for participants todescribewhattheyhavedoneafterattendingthecourse,andtoprovidefollow-upcontactdetailsfor theDIYHappiness team.Theaimshouldbe to find ‘success stories’, suchaspeoplewhohaveusedtheWheelofWellbeingframeworktodevelopworkshopsoftheirown,orhaveusedwhattheyhavelearntinotherways.

2. Onedayworkshop
The one day workshops based on the Wheel of Wellbeing should be evaluated using simplermethods.Werecommenda shortenedversionof thesurveywhich is runon theday itself,askingparticipants to rate themselves on key attributes before and after the course. This survey has aseriesofquestionswhichpeoplecananswerandratetheirconfidenceorabilityatthebeginningandendoftheday(seeappendix1d).

Ethics,dataprocessingandmanagement
Dataprotection
GeneralDataProtectionRegulation (GDPR) lawshavebeenenforceable from25thMay,2018.Thepremise is that no-one’s personal details should be stored, analysed or processed without theirexplicitconsent.Forthisreason,werecommendcollectinganonymousdataofcourseparticipants.Therisksofcollecting identifiabledataonsurveys(suchasnames,addressesandemailaddresses)outweighthebenefits.
That said, itwillbenecessary forproject facilitators tokeepemail addresses inorder tomaintaincontact with course attendees. Course facilitators should ask course attendees for permission tostore this data for the purpose of communicating about the course, or (potentially) for collectingcase study information. A sample consent form is given in appendix 2a. Consent to be contactedshouldbekeptsecurely,apartfromthesurveyresponses.
Whenseekingcasestudies, it isessentialtoexplaintopeoplehowtheirdatawillbeused,andareaware that that can use a false name if they wish. People should be reminded that they canwithdrawtheirdataatanytime,andgivenaninformationsheetwhichshowsthemhowtodothis(seeappendix2b).
Theeasiestwaytoensurecompliancewithdataprotectionlawistoaskcourseattendeestoopt-into sharing their contact details with course facilitators at the beginning. Course administratorsshould ask course participants if they are happy to retain contact information for evaluationpurposes, for example, for up to threemonths after the coursehasbeen completed. Participantswhowishtomaintaincontactwiththeteamaregiventhisoptionbyprovidingtheiremailaddressonthefinalsurvey(allowingthemtobefollowedupforpotentialcasestudies).
Datastorage
Evaluation data in this instance will be stored on the survey provider online. Data is enteredautomatically through the online survey provider (reducing theworkload forWheel ofWellbeingstaff).DatacanbeexportedintoanExcelfileandstoredinternallyonthehostorganisation’sserver,whichispasswordprotectedtothosestaffwhoneedaccess.Themethoddescribedabovedoesnotattempt tocollectpersonally identifiable information,andmakesnoattempt toanalyse individualparticipants’ data over time. The advantage is that this simplifies data storage in relation to dataprotection laws. The data collected and storedwill be anonymous. The disadvantage is that dataanalyses can only be done on aggregate (i.e., average) data, rather than individual-level datafollowedupatmultipletimepoints.
Dataispotentiallycollectedfromdifferentlocations(includingAustralia).Werecommendthathostorganisationsactascontrollersoftheirowndata.Datasharingagreementscanbedraftedbetweenhost organisations if there is a need to pool the data. The fact that no identifiable data is beingcollectedmakesthissimpler,minimisinganyriskofdatabreach.
Ethics
It is unlikely that people will become distressed due to completing these questionnaires.Nonetheless, the course facilitator should provide their contact details in case anyone wishes toraiseanyquestionsorconcernsaboutthesurveysandhowtheywillbeprocessed.

DataAnalysisIt is important thatdataanalysisproceduresare simpleandmanageable, they shouldbedone in-houseandledbyamemberofstaffattheorganisation.
Baselineandfollow-updata
Anonlinedataplatformwillbeusedtocollectdata.Basicanalysescanbecompletedusingsuchawebsitewithout theneed forquantitativedataexpertise.Graphsand tables canbe createdusingsimplecommandsonsuchawebsite.Thesecanbeusedtoillustratepercentages(suchasnumberofpeople satisfied with the course, and basic before/after comparisons). If needed, data can beexportedintoanExcelformatforfurtheranalysesasrequired.Oneeconomicalwayofanalysingthisdatawillbetolinkwithalocaluniversity,advertisingforapostgraduate(orpossiblyundergraduate)studenttoanalysetheanonymousdatausingastatisticsprogramme.
Themostimportantanalysestorunarecomparisonsbetweenpre-courseandpost-coursescores:
- TotalWEMWBSscorestomeasurewellbeing(seeQ1,Appendix1a)- Understandingofwellbeing(seeQ2,Appendix1a)- EngagementwithWheelofWellbeingthemes(Q7,Appendix1a).- Lifesatisfaction(Q8,Appendix1a).
Using the approach recommended above, it is possible to calculate average scores for courseparticipants‘before’thecourseand‘after’thecourse.Calculatingthechangeinbefore/afterscoresfor individuals will not be possible because individuals’ baseline and follow-up data has beencollectedanonymously.Over time, theprogrammewill collectdata from largenumbersof courseparticipants.Combiningeveryone’sscoreswillprovideanindicationofwhetherthecourseishelpfulornot,particularlywhenalsousedwithcasestudies.
Data from ‘open-ended’questionswillneed tobeanalysedmanually.Agoodway todo this isbyreadingeachentryandcategorisingresponses.Duetothelikelytimeconstraints, it is justifiabletousequotesfromtheanswerstoopen-endedquestions,thesecanbeusedtoillustratewhatpeoplelikeabouttheserviceandwhattheywouldliketoimprove.
