Lessons learned
Following Phase Two and the completion of the campaign, a number of key lessons were identified:
Measuring behaviour change over a short period can be difficult – ensure from the start your behavioural goals are SMART and data sharing is agreed
A particularly problematic aspect was establishing a baseline from which to demonstrate swapping an unhealthy snack for a healthy one. Application and voucher redemption statistics from Healthy Start vouchers were initially going to be a key indicator of behaviour change However, access to this data was far more limited than the Snack Right team anticipated and thus could not form a key element of the evaluation.
