“…Although more difficult to measure, commitment to serve particular populations, organizational support for programs, stability of resources and personnel dedicated to the intervention, and organizational values and mission, also bear on the process of implementation (Ginexi & Hilton, 2006; Rohrbach, Grana, Sussman & Valente, 2006). Miller and Shinn (2005) define organizational values as including the “values about what its members believe it ought to accomplish in the world and also about what its members think is good, local prevention practice for its target population” (Miller & Shinn, 2005, p. 172).…”

Since 1999, the Centers for Disease Control have trained over 10,000 service providers from more than 5,000 agencies to implement evidence-based HIV prevention interventions through its Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) program. Based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a convenience sample of 22 HIV prevention service providers from 8 agencies in Wisconsin who participated in DEBI training, this article explores providers’ motivations for attending DEBI training, perceptions of the utility and value of the DEBI program, and criticisms of the program. Providers indicated that they attended training as part of general skill-building efforts, as a way to improve services through the adoption of evidence-based interventions, and to better meet client needs. DEBI training participants were critical of the program's “top down” approach, perceived lack of fit between the DEBI and their target populations, and what they perceived as a lack of evidence that the interventions would work with their particular populations. These results suggest that in order for the DEBI program to be more widely accepted, the experiences and expertise of providers need to be more fully integrated into the processes of developing, disseminating, and adapting evidence-based HIV prevention interventions.

“…Considering that a major goal of SUD research is the successful implementation of new practices in the field (Ginexi & Hilton, 2006) and the public health concerns regarding high smoking rates among SUD patients (Guydish et al, 2011), our finding of a significant positive relationship between TC availability and use of TCS with patients who smoke has practical implications. For instance, it seems advisable to clearly communicate to counselors about available pharmacotherapies and behavioral treatments for TC in their treatment programs to promote the use of evidence-based TCS.…”

This study aimed to understand substance use disorder counselors’ implementation of evidencebased tobacco cessation services (TCS) with their patients who smoke. Drawing from an established adoption of innovations framework, we investigated the association between counselors’ perceptions of the availability of TCS (both pharmacotherapies and behavioral treatments) in their treatment program and the implementation of TCS (both pharmacotherapies and behavioral treatments) with their patients who smoke and whether this association is moderated by the strength of an organization’s climate for implementation and the fit of the innovation with users’ values. Data were collected in 2010 from 682 counselors working in 239 treatment programs across the U.S. that offer evidence-based TCS. Mixed-effect models showed that perceived availability of TCS was related with greater TCS implementation. This relationship was moderated by several indicators of climate for implementation but not by the fit of the innovation with users’ values.

“…Ginexi and Hilton (2006) suggested that program costs vary widely across implementations. Differing population cultural characteristics, agency settings, and existing infrastructures can drive those variations (Chatterji, Caffray, Jones, Lillie-Blanton, & Werthamer, 2001; Suter, 2010).…”

Nurse Family Partnership: Comparing Costs per Family in Randomized Trials Versus Scale-Up

The literature that addresses cost differences between randomized trials and full-scale replications is quite sparse. This paper examines how costs differed among three randomized trials and six statewide scale-ups of Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) intensive home visitation to low income first-time mothers. A literature review provided data on pertinent trials. At our request, six well-established programs reported their total expenditures. We adjusted the costs to national prices based on mean hourly wages for registered nurses and then inflated them to 2010 dollars. A centralized data system provided utilization. Replications had fewer home visits per family than trials (25 vs. 31, p = .05), lower costs per client ($8,860 vs. $12,398, p = .01), and lower costs per visit ($354 vs. $400, p = .30). Sample size limited the significance of these differences. In this type of labor intensive program, costs probably were lower in scale-up than in randomized trials. Key cost drivers were attrition and the stable caseload size possible in an ongoing program. Our estimates reveal a wide variation in cost per visit across six state programs, which suggests that those planning replications should not expect a simple rule to guide cost estimations for scale-ups. Nevertheless, NFP replications probably achieved some economies of scale.
