Abstract
This thesis reviewed NHMRC-funded, community-level substance misuse interventions, documenting: outcomes; study designs; implicit program theory; and assumptions. Data from one intervention project, targeting cannabis misuse in Cape York, exemplified common evaluation constraints, and informed hypothetical context-mechanism-outcome clusters for a plausible program theory and proposed theory-driven evaluation.
