DESCRIPTION:In health care and many other fields of research\, interventio
 ns are often described as being complex and have outcomes that are depende
 nt on context. When these complex interventions fail to achieve their desi
 red outcomes\, the explanation frequently provided is because they are bot
 h complex and context dependent. Realist research approaches\, such as rea
 list reviews can help make sense of these types of interventions or progra
 mmes.\n\nThe seminar will outline the theory underlying realist approaches
  and the key stages in a realist review. It will then move on to discuss w
 hen doing a realist review might be most helpful and provide some illustra
 tive examples of how realist reviews deal with complexity and context. Som
 e time will be available for questions and discussion. \n\nDr Geoffrey Won
 g\, MA MBBS MD(Res) MRCGP FHEA\, is Clinical Research Fellow at the Nuffie
 ld Department of Primary Care Health Sciences\, University of Oxford.\n\nT
