Intervention Characteristics Considered in Health Educators’ Adoption Decision-Making Process
It is well known that perceptions of intervention characteristics (e.g., cost, source, evidence strength and quality) are a critical link from dissemination to implementation. What is less known is the process by which researchers understand the characteristics most valued by key intermediaries (i.e., real-world decision-makers), particularly in the federal system of Cooperative Extension. In Extension, university-based specialists are available …
Dissemination in Extension
In the National Cooperative Extension System (herein: Extension), state-level specialists serve as key intermediaries between research, educators, and the community members they serve. There is a need to understand information seeking and sharing practices (i.e., dissemination) among specialists to increase the adoption of evidence-based health promotion programs. Specialists ( N = 94) across 47 states were identified and invited to participate i…
Addressing Health Inequities
Land grant universities are a key provider of community-based health promotion programs through the Cooperative Extension Service. However, Extension's current approach to addressing systemic social determinants of health is incomplete and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to explore Extension health educators' perceptions of demand for health promotion programming targeting audiences most likely to experience health inequities. Health …
Use of an Integrated Research-Practice Partnership to Improve Outcomes of a Community-Based Strength-Training Program for Older Adults
Only 17% of older adults meet the recommendations for two days of full body strength training that is associated with improved functional fitness; reduced risk of falls; and reduced morbidity and mortality rates. Community-based interventions are recommended as they provide supportive infrastructure to reach older adults and impact strength training behaviors. Scalability and sustainability of these interventions is directly linked with setting-l…
Using pre- and post-survey instruments in interventions
Objective The present communication demonstrates that even if individuals are answering a pre/post survey at random, the percentage of individuals showing improvement from the pre- to the post-survey can be surprisingly high. Some simple formulas and tables are presented that will allow analysts to quickly determine the expected percentage of individuals showing improvement if participants just answered the survey at random. This benchmark percen…
