This study compares the provision of HIV testing in a nationally representative sample of correctional agencies and community-based substance abuse treatment programs and identifies the internal organizational-level correlates of HIV testing in both organizations. Data are derived from the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies' National Criminal Justice Treatment Practices Survey. Using an organizational diffusion theoretical framework [Rogers, E. M. (2003). Diffusion of innovations (5th ed.). New York: The Free Press], the impact of Centralization of Power, Complexity, Formalization, Interconnectedness, Organizational Resources, and Organizational Size on HIV testing was examined in correctional agencies and treatment programs. Although there were no significant differences in the provision of HIV testing among correctional agencies (49%) and treatment programs (50%), the internal organizational-level correlates were more predictive of HIV testing in correctional agencies. Specifically, all dimensions, with the exception of Formalization, were related to the provision of HIV testing in correctional agencies. Implications for correctional agencies and community treatment to adopt HIV testing are discussed.

“…Therefore, the process of reinventing the MP, when done carefully and thoughtfully, helps young men develop a sense of ownership of the program and of the program's goals. Only through reinvention can the community members "meet their own needs, solve their own problems, and mobilize the resources necessary to feel in control of their own lives" (Kavanagh, 1995), and thus the process of reinvention can help in the development of an empowered community. At the same time, as indicated in the description of the MP above, implementing the core elements is important to achieve synergy among the different components.…”

Substantial effort has gone into scientifically developing and evaluating HIV prevention interventions. These programs make only minor contributions to HIV prevention efforts until they are widely put into practice; however, little research has been conducted to study how evidence-based, community-level HIV prevention interventions diffuse from research into practice. This article explores how one such evidence-based intervention for young MSM, the Mpowerment Project (MP), is scaling up in the US. The goals of this article are threefold: (a) to describe our longitudinal study, currently underway, concerning issues regarding translating research to practice; (b) present detailed data from 69 CBOs that are implementing the MP regarding characteristics of their communities, agencies, and target populations; and (c) to present baseline data on how these agencies are attempting to implement the MP, focusing on which intervention components CBOs decided to implement, modify, or delete and the implications of these modifications.

“…Rogers (2002) has suggested that the attitude of potential adopters and the perceived attributes of the innovation will often need to be changed. Without the acceptance of those who will be implementing the treatment on a day-to-day basis, the dissemination effort will not be successful (Baum, 1995;Diamond, 1995;Kavanaugh, 1995;Torrey et al, 2002). Schmidt and Turner (2002) therefore suggest that initial attempts to disseminate empirically supported therapies will be more successful if researchers choose target sites at which clinicians and administrators have more favorable attitudes towards the treatments.…”

Although psychotherapy researchers have begun to recognize the benefits of applying dissemination research to their efforts to disseminate empirically supported treatments into community settings, to date no model has been proposed specifically for the dissemination of psychological interventions. We therefore summarize the key elements of three dissemination models and propose an integrated plan that may be useful in promoting wider and more effective dissemination of empirically supported psychotherapies. Barriers to dissemination are also discussed in the context of these models.
