Q

Reach

A
  • How do I reach those who need this intervention?
  • Whose behaviour is it we are trying to change?
  • The absolute number, proportion and representativeness of target individuals willing to participate in a given initiative (who actually did the intervention)
  • Are the people who participate, representative of the population?

Q

Effectiveness

A
  • How do I know my intervention is working?

- Is the intervention actually working/doing what you hoped it would do?

12
Q

What happens if there are differences in those who participate in an intervention?

A
  • An intervention can have a differential impact based on variables that can’t be determined because of lack of representativeness of the sample
  • The intervention can be effective for the group participating and can have different impact on them compared to general population

Q

What happens if there are no differences between the participating population?

Q

Generalizability

A
  • Are the people participating actually representative of the general population?
  • If not, we want to look at why this group participated more and the rest of society, not.

Q

How to improve REACH?

A
  • Build relationships with target population (presentations, assist with events, volunteer in similar places, class talks, etc)
  • Involve target population in creating the program (ask what will motivate them, make it more meaningful for them, what information do they want, etc)
  • What are the best ways to recruit people to the program? (professionals, experts, etc)

16
Q

What to ask when determining REACH?

A

-Who is the intervention most likely to reach? (participate, demographic differences)
-How would you figure out who you are reaching? (questionnaires, surveys, ask)
-

17
Q

Efficacy/Effectiveness

A
  • The impact of an intervention on important outcomes (potential negative effects, quality of life, economic)
  • What is the cost?
  • What would you determine changed? What are you seeing changed?
  • What would you measure to determine how well the intervention is working?
18
Q

What is efficacy?

A

-The test of an intervention under controlled, ideal conditions (an experiment)

19
Q

What is effectiveness?

A

-The test of an intervention in the “real world” where things can’t be controlled

20
Q

What is adoption?

A
  • The absolute number, proportion, and representativeness of settings and intervention agents who are willing to initiate a program
  • Who will actually give out/deliver the intervention? And why?
  • How representative are they of different programs and settings?
  • Can have many levels (What are the levels within an organization where you are trying to get people to adopt?)
  • Who might be the staff/settings in which this program is adopted?
21
Q

Make it easy for decision makers to say yes to these 2 questions…

A
  1. As an organization, will we add value to our service and mission by offering this program? (will it be helpful to the people I’m working with? What is in it for me?)
  2. Does our organization have the capacity, resources, or expertise necessary to deliver the program? (Is it feasible for us? Do we have enough people, resources or expertise who can deliver it? Does it make sense for the people I am asking to implement it?)
22
Q

Who are decision makers?

A

-Those who have to decide if they want to participate in your program/deliver your program

23
Q

What is implementation?

A
  • The intervention agents’ fidelity to the various elements of an intervention’s protocol
  • Consistency of delivery as intended and time of the intervention (Is the intervention delivery consistent as intended and over time?)
  • Includes any adaptations made to interventions and implementation strategies (tweaks made because they forgot overtime or think it is what they should be doing)
  • Is the intervention being implemented the way you intended?
24
Q

How do we assess implementation?

A
  • Assessed by reporting on what percentage of prices objectives were achieved
  • How many objectives within the process itself were achieved?
  • How much was actually done?
25
Q

What should we report in implementation? And Why?

A
  • Costs and specific staff time commitments
  • This information is important for determining if others will attempt to try a program (we want to see why people don’t sign up and if it is because there was a drift away from original intention and people are not receiving what they signed up for)
26
Q

What is maintenance?

A
  • Both the setting AND the individual

- At both the Target Population level AND the Implementation Agent level (those implementing it)

27
Q

Maintenance at Setting Level

A
  • The extent to which a program or policy becomes institutionalized or part o the routine organizational practices and policies
  • Does it become part of regular practice/routine?
  • Is it still valued and being implemented as intended over time?
  • Are implementation agents still maintaining it over time?
28
Q

Maintenance at Individual Level

A
  • The long-term effects of a program on outcomes
  • After 6 or more months after the most recent intervention contact
  • Did they learn the skills needed to keep going?
  • Are things still happening after the formal part of research is over?
29
Q

Why do we use RE-AIM?

A
  • Bridge the “Research to Practice” Gap

- There is lots of good research done that is not necessarily adopted or implemented in practice

30
Q

Why is there a research to practice gap?

A
  • Lack of training
  • Lack of resources
  • Challenging to do good intervention work (lots of steps, how will you actually affect change needs thinking)
  • Lack of political will in certain places
  • Reality of behaviour change in the real world (great ideas on how but it is hard to actually change behaviour)
31
Q

Emotional reasons for health decisions?

A

-Making decisions based on diagnosis and doing things we consider not based in science because of emotions (i.e. desperate)

32
Q

Detoxification Video Main Questions

A
  • How are people understanding and reading science?
  • Marketing influences on health?
  • Emotional reasons for health decisions?
33
Q

How are people understanding and reading science?

A
  • Things without evidence can sound amazing but can mislead people from therapies that actually work (people feel better thinking it has worked)
  • We all make cognitive mistakes and are prone to seeing connections where they don’t exist!
  • Science keeps evolving an changing so what used to work might not anymore
  • People claim supplements have helped and that is what gets credit, when there is actually more science that boosted the help (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy, etc)
  • Science versus pop culture
