  4. Today’s Learner Objectives • Identify factors that influence choice of evidence-based strategies and interventions. • Identify the types of information needed from your community and organization to ensure a proper match with an intervention. • Assess the fit of the organization to the potential strategies and interventions • Identify elements that can and cannot be changed when using an intervention.

  5. Homework Review: How Did it Go? • Scavenger Hunt Handout • Explore The Community Guide website and answer questions specific to the Task Force-recommended strategy, Behavioral and Social Approaches to Increase Physical Activity: Individually-Adapted Health Behavior Change Programs. • Use the RTIPs and Center TRT websites to • Select one program intervention from each that is aligned with the Task Force-recommended strategy, Behavioral and Social Approaches to Increase Physical Activity: Individually-Adapted Health Behavior Change Programs. • Answer questions for each program intervention you selected.

  6. Homework Review: How Did it Go? (cont’d) • Intervention Comparison Tool Handout • Review your responses on the Organizational Readiness Checklist. • Consider the information you gathered about your health priority and community. • Fill out only the first blank column “Priority Area for Our Community” based on your community as well as your responses for the Organizational Readiness Checklist. You will fill out the remaining columns during our next webinar.

  8. SELECTING AN EVIDENCED-BASED OPTION THAT FITS YOUR COMMUNITY 8

  9. Why Is Understanding the Details of Evidence-Based Options Important? • Assess how much adaptation is needed by gauging its fit to your community and organization. • Review methods, facilitators’ guide or implementation protocol to understand the steps for delivery. • Learn the costs of implementation. • In short, decide which program to use.

  10. Before You Hit the Ground Running • Consider the goals, objectives and target audience for your proposed program, practice or policy. • Consider the characteristics of the organization or setting. • Then, select the best one to match those goals, objectives, and audience.

  11. Definition of Fit • Overall compatibility between a strategy and the • Audience and community served. • Organization that will implement it. • Ideal Match

  12. Fit Considerations • Strategy and Intervention • Health behaviors/topics • Goals • Type of delivery methods • Time span • Settings • Audience • Age • Education • Gender • Race/ethnicity • Socioeconomic status • Organization • Fit with mission • Leadership support • Availability of a project coordinator • Resources: • Finances/cost • Staff & expertise • Facilities • Partnerships • Community • Priorities and values • Readiness for prevention • Fit with other programs

  14. Activity!

  15. Activity: Selecting an Intervention • Using the RTIPs and Center TRT websites, choose two intervention programs to address your identified priority area (from Column 2). • Using the Intervention Comparison Tool • Complete Option 1 & Option 2 Columns using information you find about each intervention program. • Compare Option 1 & Option 2 and discuss how each might fit with your population and organization.

  16. Intervention Comparison Tool 16

  17. Activity: Selecting an Intervention (cont’d) • Tell us what you chose and why. Process: We will hear from three groups. • If you would like to volunteer your choices, RAISE YOUR HAND in the webinar. • We will randomly select someone. • Once someone is selected, please LOWER YOUR HAND. • After the first response, if you have chosen a different intervention and are willing to explain, please RAISE YOUR HAND. • We will randomly select someone. • Once someone is selected, please LOWER YOUR HAND. • After the second response, if you have chosen a different intervention and are willing to explain, please RAISE YOUR HAND. • We will randomly select someone. • Once someone is selected, please LOWER YOUR HAND.

  18. Adopt Adapt Adapt Adapting INTERVENTIONS to Fit Your Community 18

  19. Adaptationis…… …making • Changes • Additions • Deletions • Substitutions …to an evidence-based strategy to make it more suitable for a particular population or an organization’s capacity.

  20. Adaptation Dilemma for Practitioners • During the adaptation process, planners often choose pieces of programs that are the most appealing or that seem the most feasible, usually there is not much input from the community. • Little or no process for determining what in a program needs to change and what must stay the same. • This can lead to programs that are incomplete with little chance of maintaining impact.

  21. Adaptation Dilemma for Researchers • Some authors suggest that when developmental issues and program targets are appropriate, adaptation is seldom or never needed (Elliot and Mihalic, 2004). • Others point out that the formative work to support adaptation is seldom done (Lau, 2006). • Nevertheless, in practice… Adaptation Happens. Elliott, D. S. & Mihalic, S. (2004). Issues in disseminating and replicating effective prevention programs. Prevention Science, 5, 47-53 Lau, A. (2006). Making the case for selective and directed cultural adaptations of evidence-based treatments. Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, 13 (4), 295-310. 21

  22. Effective adaptation of a community-based program involves balancing… • Fit: Increasing compatibility between an evidence-based strategy and the organizational setting and audience characteristics. • Fidelity: Implementing core elements and key process steps as intended in the original evidence-based strategy.

  23. Program Fidelity • Adherence to program protocol or implementation guide • Dose or amount of program delivered • Quality of program delivery • Participant reaction and acceptance *Rabin, Brownson, Haire-Joshu, Kreuter, Weaver. A glossary for dissemination and implementation research in health. Journal of Public Health Management Practice, 2008, 14(2), 117–123.

  24. Fidelity: Core Elements of Evidence-Based Interventions • Three types of core elements • Content • Delivery mechanisms • Methods *Eke, Neumann, Wilkes, Jones. Preparing effective behavioral interventions to be used by prevention providers: the role of researchers during HIV Prevention Research Trials. AIDS Education & Prevention, 2006, 18(4 Suppl A):44-58.

  25. Core Elements of Evidence-Based Programs • CoreContentElements—relate to WHAT is being delivered or taught • Core Pedagogical Elements—relate to HOW the content is delivered or taught • Core Implementation Elements—relate to the WHEN, WHERE, AND BY WHOM [logistics] Adapted from: Lesesne, C.

  26. Green,Yellow,&RedLight Adaptations Provides guidance on whether a particular adaptation is … …safe (green). …should be made cautiously (yellow). …should be avoided (red).

  27. Things That CanProbably Be Modified • Names of health care centers or systems. • Pictures of people and places and quotes. • Hard-to-read words that affect reading level. • Wording to be appropriate to audience. • Ways to recruit your audience. • Incentives for participation. • Timeline (based on adaptation guides). • Cultural preferences based on population.

  28. Modifications That Might Be MadeBUT Proceed with Caution • Substituting activities. • Modifying who delivers the program. • Changing the order of the curriculum or steps (sequence). • Altering the length of program activities. • Varying the primary audience. • Changing delivery format or process steps. • Adding activities to address other risk factors or behaviors.

  29. Things That Cannot Be Modified • The health communication model or theory. • The health topic/behavior. • Deleting core elements or whole sections of the program. • Reduction in • Timeline (beyond guidelines). • Dosage (e.g., activities, time/session). • Adding activities that detract from the core elements.
