Read the first 7 Prevention Program Planning & Implementation flashcards as text

  1. Which approach to program sustainability planning should begin DURING initial implementation rather than at the end?

    Answer: Sustainability planning

    Sustainability planning should be integrated from the start of implementation so that funding, partnerships, and infrastructure are established before the initial grant ends.

  2. A prevention team is using the 'Getting to Outcomes' (GTO) framework. Which step involves asking 'What is the problem and what are the assets to address it?'

    Answer: Step 1 – Needs and Resources

    Step 1 of Getting to Outcomes asks teams to identify community needs and available assets before selecting or planning any program.

  3. Which factor is MOST associated with successful community coalition functioning in prevention?

    Answer: Diverse membership with clearly defined roles and shared decision-making

    Effective coalitions are characterized by diverse, inclusive membership with clear roles and collaborative decision-making rather than top-down control.

  4. When delivering a prevention curriculum, a facilitator notices that two planned sessions conflict with a major local event. The BEST response is to:

    Answer: Reschedule the conflicted sessions while documenting the change as a fidelity deviation

    Rescheduling sessions and documenting the change preserves program dosage and maintains a fidelity record that explains any deviations.

  5. Which type of prevention program evaluation measures whether a program was delivered as intended?

    Answer: Process evaluation

    Process evaluation assesses whether the program was delivered with fidelity to the model, including dosage, reach, and quality of implementation.

  6. A prevention professional is selecting between two evidence-based programs of similar effectiveness. Program A costs $50 per participant and Program B costs $200. What analysis BEST informs this decision?

    Answer: Cost-effectiveness analysis

    Cost-effectiveness analysis compares the cost per unit of outcome, helping decision-makers choose the most efficient program when effectiveness is similar.

  7. Which concept from implementation science describes the degree to which an innovation fits with the values and needs of the adopting organization?

    Answer: Compatibility

    Compatibility, from Diffusion of Innovations theory, refers to how well an innovation aligns with the existing values, experiences, and needs of potential adopters.
