Session Description: We will be focusing on the evaluating efforts associated with the process of moving from pilot or demonstration projects into widespread practice. Issues associated with this process include the following:

  • Packaging the program for potential users
  • Marketing/disseminating the program to the potential users
  • Building capacity to select and use effective interventions
  • Understanding the decisions involved in adopting a new program
  • Maintaining quality control over multiple implementation sites
  • Facilitating and measuring implementation
  • Considering the balance between fidelity and adaptation
  • Scaling up efforts to achieve public health impact

Each of these issues is a possible focus for evaluation research questions. Among these are the following questions are the following:

  • What characteristics of the message, its delivery agent, modality, and its recipient lead to the most successful dissemination efforts?
  • What characteristics of programs, organizations, their mutual contexts, and resources affect the decision to adopt a program?
  • What characteristics of programs, organizations, their mutual context and resources affect effective implementation (and related constructs such as fidelity and adaptation)?
  • How do the processes and level of implementation act as moderators and/or mediators in understanding program outcomes
