Who is responsible?Researchers/ program developers, implementers, health service providers, funders?
A barrier to translation of intervention research findings for public health benefit is that both developers (often researchers) and practitioners believe that the responsibility for dissemination lies elsewhere.
Researchers: I don’t have the training or interest in approaches to enhance dissemination of research products; grant funding does not support such activities.
Practitioners: The responsibility for summarizing and making research products useful lay elsewhere. But if they were easy to find and use we would do it.

for Dissemination & Implementation (Wandersman, 2008)
Description of a planning process derived from the work of health promotion interventionists
Seems to have stimulated in the field ◦ enhanced attempts to
integrate theory and evidence
◦ greater focus on both behavior and environment an ecological planning approach
◦ greater attention to planning for implementation and dissemination
1. Conduct a needs assessment 2. Create matrices of change objectives based on
the determinants of behavior and environmental conditions
3. Select theory-based intervention methods and practical applications
4. Translate methods and applications into an organized program
5. Plan for adoption, implementation and sustainability of the program
6. Generate an evaluation plan
1. Designing the health education program in ways that enhance its potential for being adopted, implemented, and sustained (IM Steps 1-4)
2. Designing interventions to influence adoption, implementation and continuation (IM Step 5)
3. Using IM processes to adapt existing evidence-based interventions - Categorizing and identifying core elements of programs
Using Intervention Mapping to Adapt Evidence-Based
Programs
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.
Some researchers insist that adaptation is essential and the challenge is to strike a balance between program fidelity and adaptation (Backer, 2001)
Even when higher fidelity was shown to be associated with improved outcomes (Durlak & DuPre, 2008) fidelity was not 100%; adaptation may have added to effectiveness
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
Variously called core elements, active ingredients, essential elements
Whatever we call them – we ◦ Often do not know what they are◦ Program descriptions often do not include them Botvin, 2004
Program Active Ingredients are:1)Theoretical methods that are intended to
change determinants of behavior (of the at-risk group or environmental agents)
2)Practical applications of methods including delivery channels
3)Characteristics of program materials and messages
4)Characteristics of program implementation
Several authors have described processes of disseminating interventions including approaches to adaptation (McKleroy, 2006; Wandersman, 2008) that generally describe the tasks involved.
Planned adaptation models have been proposed (Backer, 2001; Lee et al., 2008)
Intervention Mapping provides a systematic approach that adds detailed how tos to these frameworks.
It can help planners identify and retain the essential elements as programs are translated to new communities and settings.
“World Starts With Me”
Developed to address the sexual and reproductive health and rights needs of secondary school students in Uganda
Adapted for adoption and implementation in Indonesia
Adaptation of an existing EBP developed for Mexican Americans for use in Puerto Rico ◦Cultivando la Salud (CDC funded intervention
program- National Center for Farmworker Health)
Adaptation of a lay health worker delivered small media intervention (Vivir sin Cancer) on HPV/HPV vaccine originally developed for parents of girls in the LRGV ◦CPRIT funded intervention trial to increase
HPV vaccination among Hispanic girls in Houston
◦Exploring possibility of adapting the intervention for use in Puerto Rico
Adaptation Product: Description of discrepancy between original program logic model of the problem and the model in the new setting (including priority population characteristics).
Adaptation Questions: 1. What is the logic model and priority population of
the problem from the original needs assessment?2. What is the logic model and priority population
for the adopting site?3. Do they match? How are they different?

Adaptation Product: Matrix of change objectives that should be added to the original program to improve validity the of the change model.
Adaptation Questions:1. What behavior and environmental conditions (and
their determinants) did the original program target for change?
2. What should the adopting site seek to change in behavior and environment (and their determinants) that is different from the original program?
