ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we develop issues and methodological aspects of health intervention research in the ageing field. These deal with the complexity of interventions inviting understanding of how these interventions work and can be transferred into another context or scaled up. We illustrate these words with the example of a concrete research project, named SoBeezy.
More precisely, we develop the idea that approaches and research methods have to integrate new research objects to allow an explicit theoretical hypothesis underlying the levers used within the intervention (designing the theory) and to anticipatw the constraints in implementing the innovation into the routine (designing the viability study), with the aim of facilitating the transfer of innovation into practice and to transform organizations.
