“…Both studies used independent observer-rated implementation adherence scores, consistent with data supporting the higher validity of observer-rated measures (Lillehoj, Griffin, & Spoth, 2004). Most notably, the findings of the Spoth et al (2002) study highlight the benefits of community-university partnerships in achieving high levels of intervention adherence, as delineated in the earlier report. This work is extended in the present study, by further examination of implementation quality using multiple quality indicators, evaluation of implementation quality maintenance, and exploration of a range of factors potentially correlated with the quality of implementation.…”

“…There were no significant differences between Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 with regard to any implementation measure for either the family-focused or the school-based interventions. It is likely that the factors that positively influenced the implementation quality for Cohort 1 also were operative for Cohort 2.The current study replicates Spoth et al (2002) in that it demonstrates the feasibility of community-university partnerships for implementing universal preventive interventions with quality. In addition, the current research extends previous work in several key respects.…”

“…The third and final objective was to explore whether community team and intervention instructor factors were correlated with implementation quality for family-focused and school-based EBIs. Spoth, Guyll, Trudeau, and Goldberg-Lillehoj (2002) examined the implementation quality of universal preventive interventions implemented by community-university partnerships. They presented data from two studies, one in which 22 schools were randomly assigned either to a universal, family-focused intervention or to a minimal contact control group, and another in which 36 schools were assigned to a multi-component universal intervention (family-focused and school-based), a school-based intervention alone, or to a minimal contact control.…”

This study examined a community-university partnership model for sustained, high-quality implementation of evidence-based interventions. In the context of a randomized study, it assessed whether implementation quality for both family-focused and school-based universal interventions could be achieved and maintained through community-university partnerships. It also conducted exploratory analyses of factors influencing implementation quality. Results revealed uniformly high rates of both implementation adherence-averaging over 90%-and of other indicators of implementation quality for both family-focused and school-based interventions. Moreover, implementation quality was sustained across two cohorts. Exploratory analyses failed to reveal any significant correlates for family-intervention implementation quality, but did show that some team and instructor characteristics were associated with school-based implementation quality.The extant literature clearly indicates the need to evaluate the quality of implementation of preventive interventions, particularly those that are evidence-based (Durlak, 1998;Goggin, Bowman, Lester, & O'Toole, 1990;Greenberg, Domitrovich, Graczyk, & Zins, 2001;Mihalic & Irwin, 2003). Although there is an expanding set of evidence-based interventions (hereafter EBIs) shown to be efficacious in reducing youth problem behaviors and promoting positive youth development, low-quality intervention implementation frequently diminishes positive outcomes (Backer, 2003;Domitrovich & Greenberg, 2000; Fixsen, Naoom, Blasé, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005). Quality monitoring is especially important when implementation occurs under real-world conditions, guided by community-based organizations or partnerships . Sustained, high quality implementation by communities is essential to the achievement of greater public health impact of EBIs Lamb, Greenlick, & McCarty, 1998;.Because of the importance of sustained, quality implementation of EBIs by communitybased partnerships, there is a need to systematically evaluate partnership models guiding such implementation . In addition, there is a need to study factors potentially influencing sustained, quality, community-based implementation of EBIs to better understand how to improve implementation systems (Fixsen et al., 2005;Greenberg et al., 2001). These research needs are addressed by the three objectives of the present study. The first objective is to examine adherence rates and other implementation quality ratings NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript achieved through a community-based model for EBI implementation. To study the sustainability of the partnership model, the second objective is to determine how well implementation quality was maintained over time. The third and final objective was to explore whether community team and intervention instructor factors were correlated with implementation quality for family-focused and school-based EBIs. Spoth, Guyll, Trudeau, and Goldberg-Lillehoj (2002) examined the implementat...

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study evaluated a gender-specific, computer-mediated intervention program to prevent underage drinking among early adolescent girls. Method: Study participants were adolescent girls and their mothers from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Participants completed pretests online and were randomly divided between intervention and control arms. Intervention-arm girls and their mothers interacted with a computer program aimed to enhance motherdaughter relationships and to teach girls skills for managing confl ict, resisting media infl uences, refusing alcohol and drugs, and correcting peer norms about underage drinking, smoking, and drug use. After intervention, all participants (control and intervention) completed posttest and follow-up measurements. Results: Two months following program delivery and relative to control-arm participants, intervention-arm girls and mothers had improved their mother-daughter communication skills and their perceptions and applications of parental monitoring and rulesetting relative to girls' alcohol use. Also at follow-up, intervention-arm girls had improved their confl ict management and alcohol use-refusal skills; reported healthier normative beliefs about underage drinking; demonstrated greater self-effi cacy about their ability to avoid underage drinking; reported less alcohol consumption in the past 7 days, 30 days, and year; and expressed lower intentions to drink as adults. Conclusions: Study fi ndings modestly support the viability of a mother-daughter, computer-mediated program to prevent underage drinking among adolescent girls. The data have implications for the further development of genderspecifi c approaches to combat increases in alcohol and other substance use among American girls. (J. Stud.
