“…(2) possible lag time to effect; (3) many potential intervening or concurrent confounding factors; and (4) the high cost of evaluation research, as studies are likely to be large scale and long term (Long, 1995;Plewis & Mason, 2005;Rolls, 1999). Nevertheless, the need to demonstrate effect has been given recent impetus by the move towards evidence-based healthcare and policy (Judge & Bauld, 2001;Macintyre, 2003;Muir Gray, 1997;Wanless 2004), and suggestions that much of health promotion 'has shaky empirical foundations' (Grunseit & Aggleton, 1998, p. 45).…”

There has been criticism of systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have shown little evidence of effect of interventions to improve teenage sexual health. Moreover, there is considerable controversy surrounding the validity of outcomes and rigour of design in evaluation methods for communitybased programmes. In this climate, Scotland launched Healthy Respect, one of four communitybased national Demonstration Projects, to address teenage sexual health. Healthy Respect is a complex and multi-stranded intervention in Lothian Region that includes education and healthpromotion activities and alternative ways to provide sexual health services for young people. A multidisciplinary research team at the University of Aberdeen was appointed to undertake an independent evaluation of this demonstration project. Challenging some aspects of theory-based evaluation, it is argued that adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods will provide an understanding of both the context and process of this Health Demonstration Project, as well as tracking outcomes, including behavioural change, in the target population. The authors' evaluation includes: examining the process of implementation; comparative regional mapping of the service context including inter-agency partnership working; and assessing effectiveness using a quasiexperimental design and adjusted, population-based, behavioural and sexual health outcomes. Evaluation from these key perspectives contributes to a balanced appraisal of a complex, community-based health promotion and service delivery intervention.

“…According to the ratings by Creswell (1994) and Plewis and Mason (2005), this study uses a qualitative approach because it analyzes the content of the articles identified. According to the ratings of Minor, Hensley and Wood (1994) and Dangayach and Deshmukh (2001), this study may be classified as conceptual because it is based on secondary data from published studies and its goal is to generate knowledge about PSS-customer requirements.…”

Identifying customer requirements is a strategic element for consolidating product-service systems (PSSs) in the market. However, literature on empirical studies has devoted relatively little attention to this topic. The purpose of the present work is to identify PSS customer requirements by analyzing empirical studies. Toward this goal, we present here a structured systematic literature review.This study systematically reviews 269 articles published until 2015 in the PSS field. About 10% of the publications reviewed describe empirical studies that identify PSS-customer requirements. After analyzing the content of these articles, we identify 37 requirements clustered around three criteria: (i) type of PSS, (ii) type of business transaction, and (iii) customer requirements that relate to product, service, or general aspects of PSS. The empirical studies investigated in this literature review focused on the business-tobusiness context. This study support PSS provider meet customer requirements. Then, they will be more successful in offering the PSS.

“…This approach helps to get complete answers and raises the robustness of people's understanding [64]. Multi-method verifies interpretations of what is taking place in a given environment [65,66]. Enriching researchers understanding of particular situations owing to its analytic power, mixed-research enables researchers to broaden their scope of study and factor in other characteristics of the phenomenon [66][67][68].…”
