Assessing Capacity of Faith-Based Organizations for Health Promotion Activities
Background. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are important venues for health promotion, particularly in medically underserved communities. These organizations vary considerably in their structural capacities, which may be linked to variability in implementation success for health promotion initiatives. Lacking an existing validated assessment of organizational capacity specific to FBOs, an initial prototype assessment was developed. Method. The F…
Recruitment of African American Churches to Participate in Cancer Early Detection Interventions
Feasibility of a Web-Based Training System for Peer Community Health Advisors in Cancer Early Detection Among African Americans
We describe the feasibility of a Web-based portal for training peer community health advisors (CHAs). We conducted a community-based implementation trial in African American churches between 2012 and 2014. The Web-based portal allows CHAs to log in and view 13 training videos, preparing them to deliver 3 cancer early detection workshops in their churches. Of 8 churches, 6 completed the training, each certifying 2 CHAs. These CHAs took an average …
Linking Sustainability Research to Intervention Types
Researchers, funders, and managers of health programs and interventions have become concerned about their long-term sustainability. However, most research about sustainability has not considered the nature of the program to be sustained. Health-related interventions may differ in their likelihood of sustainability and in the factors likely to influence continuation. I suggest a framework for analyzing the sustainability of 6 types of intervention…
Planning Evaluation Through the Program Life Cycle
Scheirer and Dearing Respond
Scheirer and Dearing Respond
We welcome the additional perspective from the occupational safety and health field about using risk control as another approach to choosing health-related interventions. If the target health problem can be controlled by attention to a specific hazard, that method might be the most appropriate and most sustainable intervention. Certainly, in the spirit of comparative effectiveness research, the evidence concerning different types of approaches an…
An Agenda for Research on the Sustainability of Public Health Programs
Funders of programs in public health and community health are increasingly concerned about the sustainability of changes they initiate. Despite a recent increase in sustainability research and evaluation, this literature has not developed a widely used paradigm for conducting research that can accumulate into generalizable findings. We provide guidance for research and evaluation of health program sustainability, including definitions and types o…
Is Sustainability Possible? A Review and Commentary on Empirical Studies of Program Sustainability
An important final step in the life cycles of programs and their evaluation involves assessing new programs’ or innovations’ sustainability. This review and synthesis of 19 empirical studies of the sustainability of American and Canadian health-related programs examines the extent of sustainability achieved and summarizes factors contributing to greater sustainability. Three definitions for measuring sustainability were examined: continued progra…

Getting More “Bang” for Your Performance Measures “Buck”
Funders of intervention programs and services at the federal, state, and local levels are requiring greater accountability via the use of performance measures. Data from these measures are usually reported descriptively for the entire program. It is suggested here that performance measure data that are already being collected could become much more useful, at low additional cost, by further analyzing the relationships among the measures, especial…

The Life Cycle of an Innovation
Reasons for adoption and for discontinuation of a dental caries prevention innovation (the fluoride mouth rinse program) are examined by using recent theory on decision processes within organizations. Greer's (1977) analysis of three theoretical approaches for the study of innovation adoption--classical, organizational, and political--are used as an organizing framework to analyze these two parts of an overall life cycle for innovations. The resu…
The Adoption and Implementation of the Fluoride Mouthrinse Program
Systematic research is needed about the dissemination and use of effective caries prevention measures to establish adoption trends and to examine factors related to desired practice. This paper examines the adoption and implementation of the fluoride mouthrinse program (FMRP) in public school districts. It extends a similar study by Silversin and Coombs in 1979 by reporting telephone interview data from the same sample of school districts. The re…

Household Structure among Welfare Families
This paper examines multigeneration household structures among recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The AFDC Recipient Characteristics Surveys for 1975 (31063 cases) and 1977 (27792 cases) provide data on individuals within households as they are related to the youngest child. Households are classified as 1) mother and children alone (60% of families) 2) mother and father or stepfather with children (14%) 3) mother and ch…
