Jim Emshoff
Handout from session at 2011 AEA/CDC Summer Evaluation Institute
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 Audience: Attendees with a basic background in evaluation.
