“…Factor analytic work indicates the constructs that are empirically distinct for coalition members are not the same as the empirically distinct constructs for technical assistance providers. Results presented in Brown et al (2012) indicate Efficiency, Leadership Style, Mobilizer Skill, and Sustainability Planning were empirically distinct in the self-report survey of members. Cohesion, Mobilizer Skill, and CTC Model Knowledge emerged as the empirically distinct factors in the observer-report survey of technical assistance providers.…”

“…We conceptualize coalition functioning as a set of malleable characteristics that involve cooperation between coalition members to realize shared goals (Brown, et al, 2012). The coalition characteristics examined in this study derive from a model of coalition functioning that has emerged from and in turn guided several previous studies of Communities That Care (CTC) coalitions (Brown, et al, 2010; Brown, et al, 2012; Feinberg, Bontempo, & Greenberg, 2008; Feinberg, Gomez, Puddy, & Greenberg, 2008; Feinberg, Greenberg, Osgood, Anderson, & Babinski, 2002; Feinberg, et al, 2010; Feinberg, Ridenour, & Greenberg, 2008).…”

“…The theoretical model of coalition functioning under investigation specifies a one-way relationship, where coalition functioning influences program implementation but program implementation does not influence coalition functioning (Brown et al, 2012). Based on this model, we hypothesize that (1) earlier measures of coalition functioning will predict later changes in coalition support for implementation, and (2) earlier measures of coalition support for implementation will not predict later changes in coalition functioning.…”

“…Several theoretical models postulate relations between specific coalition characteristics and program implementation support (Brown, Feinberg, & Greenberg, 2012; Butterfoss, Goodman, & Wandersman, 1993; Butterfoss & Kegler, 2002). For example, in Community Coalition Action Theory, coalition processes such as cohesion and task focus influence collaborative synergy, which in turn enables program implementation (Butterfoss & Kegler, 2002; Kegler & Swan, 2011).…”

Community coalitions have been promoted as a strategy to help overcome challenges to the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based prevention programs. This paper explores the characteristics of coalitions that enable the provision of implementation support for prevention programs in general, and for the implementation of evidence-based prevention programs with fidelity. Longitudinal cross-lagged panel models were used to study 74 Communities That Care (CTC) coalitions in Pennsylvania. These analyses provide evidence of a unidirectional influence of coalition functioning on the provision of implementation support. Coalition member knowledge of the CTC model best predicted the coalition’s provision of support for evidence-based program implementation with fidelity. Implications for developing and testing innovative methods for delivering training and technical assistance to enhance coalition member knowledge are discussed.

“…The climate is gauged by staff awareness of agency mission and goals, workplace trust, unity and stability, effective leadership, integration and support for adopted programs, and the provision of supervision and peer support (Brown, Feinberg, & Greenberg, 2011; Process and interaction factors (external and internal) (N = 31)…”

Evaluating the implementation and sustainability of an evidence-based intervention: delivering Triple P within Indigenous child welfare agencies

In both Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, research clearly links evidence-based parenting programs to decreases in child behavior problems, dysfunctional parenting, and child abuse and maltreatment. However, Indigenous families often do not have adequate opportunities to access these programs. This is due to a number of compounding program, service organization, process and interaction factors that are reviewed and evaluated in this thesis.Chapter 1 provides a rationale and overview for evaluating factors that impact initial and long-term use of evidence-based programs (EBPs). It presents the case for developing and evaluating a framework of supports for sustainment of EBPs developed specifically for providers working in disadvantage communities. The research plan presented involves: a systematic review and conceptual framework of barriers and enablers to implementation and sustainment in real-world practice settings; development and validation of a scale measuring inhibitors and enablers to program sustainment; and evaluation of outcomes for implementation and sustainment for providers who are trained in the Triple P -Positive Parenting Program, as an example EBP, both internationally in varied service settings and specifically for Indigenous Australians working in the child protection sector.Chapter 2 presents a review of the literature (submitted for publication) pertaining to provider implementation and sustainment of EBPs with families and communities experiencing disadvantage. Important factors that facilitate success and create barriers to program sustainment are synthesized into key themes. These themes are drawn on to develop the Sustained Implementation Support Framework for EBPs. The need to develop a conceptual framework and a measure to guide and evaluate EBP implementation in community settings is established.Chapter 3 outlines the preliminary validation of a measure, the Sustained Implementation Support Scale, of enablers and inhibitors (program benefits, program burden, workplace support, workplace cohesion and leadership style) to EBP sustainment (submitted for publication). This study demonstrated that practitioners sustaining implementation at least three years post training were more likely to have supervision/peer support, reported higher levels of program benefit, workplace support and positive leadership style, and lower program burden compared to practitioners who were non-sustainers. Workplace cohesion was not significantly related to iii sustained implementation. This highlights the potential benefit of using an evaluation measure to assess service provider perceptions of sustainment inhibitors and enablers to enhance capacity to sustain EBPs.Chapter 4 consists of a paper (submitted for publication) reporting on the use of the Statement of parts of the thesis submitted to qualify for the award of another degreeNone.ix Acknowledgements

This paper presents a review of the empirical literature for studies evaluating factors that facilitate and create barriers to sustained program implementation in disadvantaged communities. It outlines study methodology and sustainment outcomes and proposes a conceptual model that involves implementation sustainment support for providers delivering evidence-based health and family services in disadvantaged communities. Sustained program implementation in the community setting is a significant issue as only 43% of studies reported successfully sustained programs. The review identified 18 factors that facilitate success and create barriers to program sustainment. The factors are synthesized into three themes; program characteristics, workplace capacity, and process and interaction factors. The majority of factors map onto commonly cited sustainability influences in implementation science. However, there was an additional focus for studies included in this review on the importance of factors such as program burden, program familiarity and perceived competence in program skills, workplace support for the program, staff mobility and turnover, supervision and peer support, and ongoing technical assistance. The need to use a conceptual framework and develop measures to guide and evaluate capacity building in EBP implementation and sustainment in low-resource community settings is highlighted.
