Problem identification/definition2. Assess settinga. Fit between researcher & community values/goalsb. Capacity (available resources) to address issue3. Review available programsa. Evidence-based: What does the literature say? b. Core vs. adaptive components: what pieces can be tweaked?Reviewing Available Programs: Does it work?■Performance of interventions in “real world” conditions do not always match the results documented in research. –Efficacy: benefits under optimal conditions–Effectiveness: results in real-world conditions■“Cookbook approach” vs. invention/innovationRoadmap for Implementation (Cont’d)4. Assess fit between program and settinga. Research-to-practice: researcher decides what’s best and sells it to communityb. Community-centered: community decides which option fits best5. Train and support stafa. Ongoing support6. Develop evaluation processa. Were key goals achieved? b. How will outcomes be measured?c. Did the participants match the intended target population?d. How much training/supervision did the people implementing the program receive? e. Was the program accurately and consistently implemented?Roadmap for Implementation (Cont’d)7. Implement!a. Must be sustainableb. What happens if/when you leave? -Who will train?-Who will provide supervision/support?Unintended Consequences■Iatrogenic effects: unintended, harmful consequences of an intervention■Strongly consider having control group■Example: Scared Straight Program–80-90% “success rate,” but participants were more likely to go to jail than control groupHow many evidence-based programs can we find in 5 minutes?■https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o3Alh2TaB9YOCRonsG5RNvJlpfxBxmcKjnSFi2Pj90s/edit?usp=sharing■Find a program for one of the listed social issues■Don’t duplicate one already listed■Scholar.google.com is a good place to start!Midsemester Feedback
