The problem
Intervention: Health education interventions addressing FGM, assessed through qualitative exploration of community views and experiences
Who it was tested with: 21 individuals (18 women and 3 men) from communities with a history of FGM in Birmingham, UK.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A generic qualitative approach was applied using semistructured individual and focus group interviews with women and men from communities with a history of FGM in Birmingham, UK. Framework analysis was used to group recurring themes from the data." The study gathered perspectives on what makes FGM education effective but did not measure actual intervention outcomes, making it a practitioner-level evidence record exploring implementation factors rather than testing intervention efficacy.
Qualitative study with 21 participants from one UK city with limited generalisability; no comparison group or outcome measurement; exploratory rather than evaluative approach; does not test whether implementing the SAFE model actually prevents FGM or improves survivor outcomes
