Hi Archana,

I would recommend looking at the work of Esther Duflo and colleagues. I have attached a couple of the groups papers.

Thanks,

Please look for work by Abhijit Banerjee & the Duflo sisters, mainly done with IFMR in India. Attached one of the papers. Should be easy to find on the internet.

I agree with Hamish

Thanks Hamish, Emmanuel and Drlatief,

I have read these works but I did not find an integrated qualitative component to their experimental RCT research.

I'm interested in RCTs that simultaneously integrate qualitative methods to inform program evaluations.

Hi Archana,

You could try the following

Midgley, N., Ansaldo, F., & Target, M. (2014). The meaningful assessment of therapy outcomes: Incorporating a qualitative study into a randomized controlled trial evaluating the treatment of adolescent depression. Psychotherapy, 51(1), 128.

O'Cathain, A., Thomas, K. J., Drabble, S. J., Rudolph, A., Goode, J., & Hewison, J. (2014). Maximising the value of combining qualitative research and randomised controlled trials in health research: the QUAlitative Research in Trials (QUART) study--a mixed methods study. Health Technology Assessment, 18(38).

Thanks,

Hamish

Thanks Hamish. I can extrapolate from health to poverty.
