Academic Performance of College Student Servicemembers and Veterans
Despite increases in fiscal and human resources dedicated to support college student service-members and veterans (CSSV), retention rates remain low with a little over half of this population completing a postsecondary degree. This low retention rate is often attributed to emotional and psychological difficulties associated with transitioning from the stress of military and combat-related environments to civilian life. The current study investiga…
Tools for Evaluating the Implementation of Complex Education Interventions
Large-scale education interventions aimed at diminishing disparities and generating equitable learning outcomes are often complex, involving multiple components and intended impacts. Evaluating implementation of complex interventions is challenging because of the interactive and emergent nature of intervention components. Methods that build from systems science have proven useful for addressing evaluation challenges in the complex intervention sp…
The Mechanisms of Implementation Support - Findings from a Systematic Integrative Review
Purpose: Mechanisms of Change (MoC) explain how strategies used to enhance the uptake of evidence in social and human services enable change in the behaviors of individual practitioners, organizational leaders or entire organizations, and systems. One such strategy is the use of implementation support practitioner (ISPs). This study examines the mechanisms through which ISPs facilitate behavior supportive of the implementation of research-support…
Bullying Perpetration and Perceived Parental Monitoring
Although parental monitoring often reduces youth risk behaviors, some research on bullying perpetration has found that parental monitoring deters bullying while other research has found a null effect or a positive effect. We investigated the bidirectional relationships of bullying perpetration and parental monitoring from age 11 to 18 years, leveraging data from four middle and six high schools in the Midwest ( N = 3,549 students). We observed wi…
Ability and Aptitude Assessment in Career Counseling
This chapter highlights the use of abilities, aptitudes, and skills in exploring occupational possibilities, making career decisions, demonstrating college and career readiness, and managing one's career. It examines some of the historical milestones associated with ability assessment. Ability assessments consist of a series of timed tasks or work samples and measure the relative ease with which an individual can perform the task. The effective u…
Implementation Support Skills
Purpose: Skills in selecting and designing strategies for implementing research-supported interventions (RSIs) within specific local contexts are important for progressing a wider RSI adoption and application in human and social services. This also applies to a particular role in implementation, the implementation support practitioner (ISP). This study examines which strategies have been reported as being used by ISPs across multiple bodies of re…

Co-creative technical assistance
Background A large national technical assistance (TA) centre in the US provides TA to Head Start regions to help strengthen their use of implementation science frameworks. In administration of TA to regions, the centre has used a ‘co-creation’ model. Aims and objectives This paper describes the co-creative TA approach, including level of dosage (frequency and duration) provided, and interim outcomes achieved. Methods The descriptive paper relies …
A research protocol for studying participatory processes in the use of evidence in child welfare systems
This paper presents a protocol for a funded study of technical assistance strategies used to support the use of evidence, and, in particular, how participatory processes contribute to the use of evidence to improve outcomes for populations. Findings from the study will increase understanding of the relationships between technical assistance, stakeholder participation and evidence use in child and family services. The authors argue that publishing…
Appendix - Program Officer Practice Profile - Using Implementation Science to Translate Foundation Strategy
Healthy Places North Carolina (HPNC) distinguishes itself from other foundation-sponsored community change initiatives by promoting the crucial role that program officers play in cultivating positive community change.Program officers meet individuals and organizations from throughout the community, encourage them to pursue new projects, introduce new ideas, promote grant opportunities, and connect actors who are not currently working together.To …
Getting Real With Strategy
Foundations are increasingly coming to appreciate the importance of strategy. But simply having a strategy – even an explicit strategy – does not guarantee that a foundation will actually achieve its goals. To implement a strategy effectively, a foundation needs to operationalize it in the form of specific functions that staff will carry out and needs to create an organizational infrastructure that supports the strategy. The field of implementati…
Using Implementation Science to Translate Foundation Strategy
New strategies sometimes require foundations to shift their staffing, organizational structures, administrative processes, and, possibly, their culture. The field of implementation science offers guidance to foundations as they effectively implement strategies that depart from prevailing practice. This article focuses on two specific tools from implementation science: the practice profile and the Implementation Drivers Assessment. The practice pr…
Causal thinking for embedded, integrated implementation research
Despite increasing use of implementation frameworks, research evidence indicates that the uptake of evidence-based practice is minimally realised. Reasons for the lack of up-take may be: 1) lack of fit between evidence-based interventions and local contexts; 2) lack of knowledge of how and when to adapt an evidence-based intervention to promote effective practice in local contexts; and 3) a frequently used implementation research agenda that limi…
Parental indulgence, self-regulation, and young adults’ behavioral and emotional problems
Because emotional and behavioral problems during young adulthood are an evolving public health concern, it is important to identify parenting behavior in the family of origin that prevents or exacerbates such problems. Therefore, we tested the impact of a unique parenting behavior – indulgent parenting – on emotional and behavioral problems through effects on self-regulation skills among college students, who face increasing developmental demands…

Active Implementation Frameworks for Successful Service Delivery
Traditional approaches to disseminating research based programs and innovations for children and families, which rely on practitioners and policy makers to make sense of research on their own, have been found insufficient. There is growing interest in strategies that “make it happen” by actively building the capacity of service providers to implement innovations with high fidelity and good effect. This article provides an overview of the Active I…
Statewide Implementation of Evidence-Based Programs
Evidence-based programs will be useful to the extent they produce benefits to individuals on a socially significant scale. It appears the combination of effective programs and effective implementation methods is required to assure consistent uses of programs and reliable benefits to children and families. To date, focus has been placed primarily on generating evidence and determining degrees of rigor required to qualify practices and programs as …
An Analysis of Content and Instructional Strategies in Multicultural Counseling Courses
The authors present a content analysis of syllabi from introductory multicultural counseling training (MCT) courses. Results suggest that these courses focus on knowledge of other cultural groups, emphasize the cultural identity exploration of the student at a lower level of training, and almost completely ignore the development of skills. The study revealed that MCT frequently includes groups beyond racial and ethnic minority groups. A broad ran…

Leadership in Division 17
Themes of Division 17 presidential addresses from 1984to 2002, published in The Counseling Psychologist , were examined using a grounded theory approach. Sorting and coding of the data yielded six major categories: distinctiveness of counseling psychology, disappointments/missed opportunities, successes, foundations of counseling psychology, outside influences, and future recommendations. Review of the coding provided identification of underlying…
