Effective dissemination and implementation of prevention programs require careful attention to site selection, training, technical assistance, fidelity, and sustainability. Independent fidelity monitoring ensures successful program replication and sustainability.

Area of Science:

  • Prevention Science
  • Program Implementation Science
  • Public Health Research

Background:

  • Building a scientific knowledge base for disseminating and implementing effective prevention programs with fidelity is a critical area for research.
  • The Blueprints for Violence Prevention-Replication Initiative aimed to identify factors influencing successful program implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present findings from the Blueprints for Violence Prevention-Replication Initiative.
  • To identify factors that enhance or impede the successful implementation of prevention programs.
  • To inform the local adaptation-fidelity debate in prevention research.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of findings from the Blueprints for Violence Prevention-Replication Initiative.
  • Analysis organized around five key implementation tasks: site selection, training, technical assistance, fidelity, and sustainability.
