“…These organizations often have family outreach and primary prevention as priorities, but may be unable to provide these services themselves; if so, forming collaborations with PROSPER to provide evidence-based prevention was mutually beneficial. However, despite the efficiency and apparent success of relying on one primary community partner for sustainability support, it is possible that PROSPER teams (and perhaps other community prevention coalitions) following this path may be at greater risk of losing their funding than those who choose a strategy that involves diversification of funding (Rog et al, 2004). …”

Pathways to Sustainability: 8-Year Follow-Up From the PROSPER Project

The large-scale dissemination of evidence-based practices (EBPs) is often hindered by problems with sustaining initiatives past a period of initial grant funding. Communities often have difficulty generating resources needed to sustain and grow their initiatives, resulting in limited public health impact. The PROSPER project, initiated in 2001, provided community coalitions with intensive technical assistance around marketing, communications, and revenue generating strategies. Past reports from PROSPER have indicated that these coalitions were successful with sustaining their programming, and that sustainability could be predicted by early aspects of team functioning and leadership. The current study examines financial sustainability eight years following the discontinuation of grant funding, with an emphasis on sources of revenue and the relationships between revenue generation, team functioning, and EBP participation. This study used four waves of data related to resource generation collected between 2004-2010 by PROSPER teams in Iowa and Pennsylvania. Teams reported annually on the amount and sources of funding procured, as well as annual reports of team functioning and leadership and annual reports of EBP participation by youth and parents. Data revealed that teams' overall revenue generation increased over time. There was significant variation in success with revenue generation at both the community level and across the two states. Teams accessed a variety of sources. Cash revenue generation was positively and predictively associated with EBP participation, but relationships with team functioning and leadership ratings varied significantly by state. State level differences in in-kind support were also apparent. The results indicated that there are different pathways to sustainability, and that no one method works for all teams. The presence of state level infrastructures available to support prevention appeared to account for significant differences in sustainability success between Pennsylvania and Iowa.

“…Previous literature has indicated that social and political climates influence coalition activities (Rog et al, 2004). Future coalitions focused on social issues that have historically experienced varying levels of social misunderstanding and stigma may need to spend time specifically assessing sources of negative stereotypes that are both internal and external to the coalition.…”

“…Previous research on coalition development has focused on factors related to effective coalition functioning and the importance of addressing organizational processes to develop and maintain high performance community-researcher coalitions that are able to achieve community-level outcomes (Francisco, Paine, & Fawcett, 1993; Kegler, Williams, Cassel, Santelli et al, 2005; Rog, Boback, Barton-Villagrana et al, 2004). Unfortunately, such studies typically have not represented the perspectives of both researchers and community partners involved in the coalitions, and have not adequately explored factors that affect participation and active involvement in the collaborative coalition.…”

This study explores organizational and contextual factors impacting coalition functioning across 15 community-researcher coalitions. A mixed methods approach was administered across three time points to assess factors associated with coalition development.. Results indicate benefits and barriers to members’ participation; importance of a clear vision, mission and goals; clear member roles; and impact of historical collaborative efforts. Current findings specified factors in three primary areas that influenced coalition development and sustainability: relationships, infrastructure and processes, and context/environment.

“…Considerable literature exists on program sustainability in community-based public health and social services programs aimed at violence prevention (Rog et al, 2004), schoolbased health (Brindis et al, 2003;Hoelscher et al, 2004), substance abuse prevention (Johnson, Hays, Center, & Daley, 2004;Swisher, 2000;Wandersman, Imm, Chinman, & Kaftarian, 2000), health promotion (Flynn, 1995;Goodman, Steckler, Hoover, & Schwartz, 1993;O'Loughlin, Renaud, Richard, Gomez, & Paradis, 1998;Pluye, Potvin, & Dennis, 2004), and substance abuse treatment (Porowski, Burgdorf, & Herrell, 2004). There has been some research on sustainability of clinical care models in health care institutional settings (Goodson, Smith, Evans, Meyer, & Gottlieb, 2001;Lee & Fletcher, 2002;Scheideman-Miller et al, 2002).…”

Project IMPACT is a collaborative care intervention to assist older adults suffering from major depressive disorder or dysthymia. Qualitative research methods were used to determine the barriers and facilitators to sustaining IMPACT in a primary care setting. Strong evidence supports the program's sustainability, but considerable variation exists in continuation strategies and operationalization across sites. Sustainability depended on the organizations' support of collaborative care models, the availability of staff trained in the intervention, and funding. The intervention's success was the most important sustainability factor, as documented by outcome data and through the "real world" experience of treating patients with this intervention.
