“…Resources and partnerships emerged as two factors contributing to success. In regard to resources, the results are certainly consistent with previous studies that show their marked influence both on the development of DPHP programming initiatives (Stith et al, 2006) and on implementation of ecological programming initiatives (Richard et al, 2004). In addition, the favorable impact of establishing partnerships with research and teaching milieus is certainly in line with numerous studies that have demonstrated the key role played by involvement of professionals with organizations and players outside their organization (Richard et al, 2002;Riley et al, 2001).…”

“…Moreover, results show that ecological programs are more likely to be adopted by multidisciplinary teams who have access to more substantial resources and among professionals who have frequent contacts and collaborations with external partners (Richard et al, 2002(Richard et al, , 2004Riley, Taylor, & Elliott, 2001;Robinson, Driedger, Elliott, & Eyles, 2006). Finally, Richard et al (2004) underscore the marked influence of ministerial orientations and policies.…”

The objective of this study was to identify contextual factors influencing the degree of integration of the ecological approach in disease prevention and health promotion (DPHP) programming initiatives for older adults in two public health organizations in Québec, Canada. A case study design was used and two organizations presenting contrasting profiles in the degree of integration of the approach in their DPHP programming for older adults were selected. Face-to-face interviews with professionals and managers and archival analysis were conducted. Several factors emerged as constraining the integration of the approach in both organizations, including the lack of data showing the effectiveness of DPHP interventions for older adults and the presence of macro-contextual political factors at odds with the ideology of DPHP. Resources and partnerships with academic milieus Article emerged as key factors distinguishing the two organizations. These results provide increased understanding of conditions required for planning DPHP programs for older adults.

“…Two innovation characteristics consistently related to implementation are adaptability (flexibility) and compatibility (contextual appropriateness, fit, match, congruence; Berman and McLaughlin 1976;Gottfredson and Gottfredson 2002;Mihalic et al 2004;Richard et al 2004;Riley et al 2001;Rogers 2003). The former indicates that programs that can be modified to fit the needs of providers, This refers to the collective reputation and norms held by an organization in relation to its willingness to try new approaches as opposed to maintaining the status quo…”

The first purpose of this review was to assess the impact of implementation on program outcomes, and the second purpose was to identify factors affecting the implementation process. Results from over quantitative 500 studies offered strong empirical support to the conclusion that the level of implementation affects the outcomes obtained in promotion and prevention programs. Findings from 81 additional reports indicate there are at least 23 contextual factors that influence implementation. The implementation process is affected by variables related to communities, providers and innovations, and aspects of the prevention delivery system (i.e., organizational functioning) and the prevention support system (i.e., training and technical assistance). The collection of implementation data is an essential feature of program evaluations, and more information is needed on which and how various factors influence implementation in different community settings.

“…In fact, new models have been proposed, older models have been refined, and ecological discourse has permeated research and planning models as well as policy statements and action plans. Ecological programming has also become an object of research as factors associated with its implementation in public health organizations are now the focus of investigations (31,45,57,58,61). Given this interest and research, we aim to critically review and appraise the usefulness of the ecological approach in research and practice on public health intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation.…”

Since the 1980s, ecological models of health promotion have generated a great deal of enthusiasm among researchers and interventionists. These models emerged from conceptual developments in other fields, and only selected elements of the ecological approach have been integrated into them. In this article, we describe the tenets of the ecological approach and highlight those aspects that have been integrated into ecological models used in health promotion. We also analyze how ecological models have been applied to the study of two important public health issues, namely physical activity promotion and the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, by conducting an archival study of published research. Finally, we make a statement regarding the usefulness of ecological models for research and practice and propose recommendations for future research, program planning, and evaluation. 307
