| Summary: | This case study discusses an evaluation research project that used mixed methods to explore the impact of National Health Service (NHS) pilot clinics that were set up to treat nonpregnant women with female genital mutilation (FGM) in England in 2019. The key aim of the evaluation was to determine whether the clinics improved the health outcomes of nonpregnant women with FGM, and this was addressed by using a mixed-methods approach to analyze internal quantitative data and generate qualitative data. Quantitative data analyzed included the number of service users supported in 2019-2021 and descriptions of symptoms treated and procedures undertaken. Qualitative data were generated through remote interview methods using a semi-structured schedule. Interviews with professionals (n = 42) involved in the delivery of the clinics and survivors (n = 12) who had accessed pilot clinic support were included in the evaluation. Ethical approval was granted through university procedures. This case study focuses specifically on the qualitative data collection that was undertaken remotely with survivors of FGM. Twelve women were interviewed in English via telephone or video-conferencing methods (MS Teams) according to participant preference. It is the process of these remote interviews and the advantages and challenges associated with them that this case study details. |
