“…Gotham (2006) states that the process of changing systems to use more effective practices involves three stages: development of practices that are efficacious in controlled studies and effective in practice, dissemination of information about EBPs that allows them to be adopted by clinicians, and the implementation of EBPs into practice settings while maintaining their effectiveness. An empirically useful model for understanding the factors that promote or inhibit both the dissemination and implementation of EBPs is the DoI model (Rogers, 1962), which has been used in a variety of fields including consumer marketing and media (Thakur, Summey, & John, 2013;Williams & Gulati, 2013), technology (Aubert, Schroeder, & Grimaudo, 2012;Schiavone, 2012), and medicine (Emani et al, 2012;Jackson, Melvin, & Downe, 2007;Kelley, Hannans, Kreps, & Johnson, 2012;Peeters, de Veer, van der Hoek, & Francke, 2012).
