The client-centred activities in daily living intervention (CADL) aims to enable agency in daily activities and participation in everyday life after stroke. The rationale for the CADL are mainly based on qualitative research aiming to understand the lived experience in everyday life after stroke.
Learning objectives
Introduction of a model for developing, evaluating and implementing a complex intervention in the context of a randomized controlled trial (Boutron et al, 2008) including:
-Introducing the Medical Research Council (MRC) guidance for complex interventions (Craig et al, 2008).
-Providing findings from research using the CADL
-Presenting the CADL development process in a Logic model and its key framework.
Format
Interactive teaching methods to:
-provide a theoretical base
-facilitate experience exchange and discussions in groups regarding development of rehabilitation interventions.
At the end of this workshop participants will:
-Recognise the value of logic models for theorising complex interventions.
-Have discussed the usefulness of CADL.
Maximum number of participants: 40
Intended participants: Clinicians within stroke rehabilitation, people interested in intervention research.
