Brief Summary

There has been substantial progress in developing evidence-based prevention programs (EBPPs) for preventing risky behaviors and promoting positive outcomes for youth. Unfortunately, their adoption, quality implementation, long-term sustainability, and scalability in real world service settings, continues to lag far behind resulting in an inability to achieve the intended broad scale public impact. This SBIR Phase II project will build on the findings and feedback gathered from stakeholders in the Phase I project to fully develop and test the Impact implementation support system. Impact will provide an easy to use, cost- and time-efficient technology platform that is capable of (a) gathering relevant process and outcomes data in a feasible way within real-world service settings; (b) producing real-time analytics (e.g., graphical displays) and meaningful reports at the provider, service setting, and broader levels (e.g., state-wide); and (c) linking data analytics to continuous quality improvement (CQI) feedback to help providers achieve best practices and targeted youth outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Fidelity to the Program Model

  Providers will complete a Fidelity form, and will receive a total score ranging from 0 to 100, with 80 or higher representing better outcomes. Scores are calculated by converting responses (1 to 5) to percentage (0 to 100) and averaging item percentages.

  To assess change, this measure will be taken each time providers enter data into the Impact system after each session (once per week for up to 12 weeks).

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Attitudes toward EBP Tracking

  To assess change, this measure will be taken (1) at baseline (PRE) and (2) following completion of providers' use of Impact, up to 9 months (POST).

• Skilled Use of Data

  To assess change, this measure will be taken (1) at baseline (PRE) and (2) following completion of providers' use of Impact, up to 9 months (POST).

• Satisfaction with Impact assessed by Acceptability Scale

  This evaluation measure will be assessed following completion of providers' use of Impact, up to 9 months (POST).

• Practicality of Impact

  This evaluation measure will be assessed following completion of providers' use of Impact, up to 9 months (POST).

• Integration of Impact

  This evaluation measure will be assessed following completion of providers' use of Impact, up to 9 months (POST).

Study Arms (2)

Naive EBP Providers

EXPERIMENTAL

Naive Providers (providers with no prior experience implementing the EBP) will attend a one-hour orientation meeting via web-based meeting software (e.g., WebEx) or in person to receive training on research procedures and implementation methods for the study. Participants will complete online surveys via 3C's secure system for any measures not collected directly via Impact. Providers will receive secure login information to the survey system and automatic email alerts with links to surveys to prompt completion. Surveys will be completed at PRE and POST time points to assess feasibility, usability, and value. 3C research staff will be available to assist providers (via email and phone) throughout the pilot field study.
