... In the workshop's keynote address, Velma McBride Murry, the Lois Autrey Betts chair in education and human development and Joe B Wyatt distinguished university professor at Vanderbilt University, laid out many of the issues involved in putting prevention science to work in communities to improve the health and well-being of children.

... Despite these areas of agreement, tensions exist between researchers, program developers, community advocates, and other stakeholders because of differing priorities, Murry continued. Community partners are interested in improving services for target populations or solving community problems, in increasing program capacity and staff skill development, in locating more stable funding sources, and in documenting the impact of or need for policy changes so as to secure funding or change views about policies.

... They can share available findings of mediational effects and information on all components of the program that may be contributing to change. They can conduct implementation assessments to capture adaptation effects.

... Some adaptations may involve minor revisions to the original materials or activities that address superficial aspects of a target population such as language, music, or food, but with the content remaining the same. Alternately, cultural adaptation may involve deeper processes related to the problem of interest, which is more likely to involve the theory-based mediators of the intervention thought to affect change mechanisms or outcomes (Castro et al., 2004)

... Establishing criteria and processes can allow communities to ready themselves for scaling up and maintaining evidence-based interventions. And alternative delivery modalities, including those that use 21st-century technologies and media platforms, can help meet the needs of potential program adopters and their targets.

... But flexibility makes a program stronger, and "a strong program should be able to withstand" some degree of change, she said. David Hawkins, University of Washington, drew a distinction between planned adaptations and situational adaptations.
