title: Performative evaluation and social return on investment: potential in innovative health promotion interventions.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to describe an approach to evaluation of a project involving complex health behaviours that incorporates collateral social outcomes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Evaluation challenges and responses for an innovative information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) initiative (HITnet) operating in remote Indigenous Australia are presented.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Innovation in evaluation must match innovation in project design and application. Two methodologies--performative research, and social return on investment--as proposed for a HITnet, sexual health promotion project, are considered.
