AGENDA
Day 1: Thursday, June 9, 2016
8:50 a.m. | Welcome and Overview of Goals and Agenda |
José Szapocznik, University of Miami | |
Leslie R. Walker-Harding, Seattle Children’s and University of Washington | |
9:00 a.m. | Keynote Presentation |
Velma McBride Murry, Vanderbilt University |
9:45 a.m. | Panel 1: Building Community Capacity: Choosing and Implementing Evidence-Based Programs with Fidelity |
Moderator: Patrick O’Carroll, U.S. Public Health Service | |
|
|
Discussion: What has been learned about implementing evidence-based prevention programs and systems in communities? What works, what doesn’t work, and what needs to be in place to be successful? What are the next steps in terms of a research agenda? | |
11:15 a.m. | Panel 2: Taking Advantage of Cutting Edge Methodologies to Meet the Need for Efficient, Optimized Interventions |
Moderator: Wilma Peterman Cross, Office of Disease Prevention, National Institutes of Health | |
|
|
Discussion: Community interventions are generally complex and multilevel, and evaluations of such programs to improve their implementation and effectiveness often require innovative designs. Such designs need to meet both community and researcher needs. There is a strong need to have efficient, optimized prevention interventions as well as an interest in having individually tailored interventions. There is also a need to develop strategies that can be adapted based on community needs and resources, cultural context, setting, etc. This panel will present examples of how to implement programs in communities with fidelity, adaptive and preference-based models, randomized rollout evaluations, and nonrandomized community-based implementation designs including simulation models. Presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion to promote a dialogue between community representatives and researchers about needs and challenges when implementing evidence-based programs in communities. |
1:15 p.m. | Panel 3: Programs Versus Principles: What Does the Evidence Tell Us? |
Moderator: J. David Hawkins, University of Washington | |
|
|
Discussion: There is much discussion these days regarding the implementation of principles of prevention versus programs. An evidence base exists for prevention interventions, but is there an evidence base for principles and kernels? What evidence do we still need? | |
3:00 p.m. | Panel 4: How to Sustain Funding of Implementation of Evidence-Based Programs/Systems? |
Moderator: Kelly J. Kelleher, Nationwide Children’s Hospital | |
|
|
Discussion: What have we learned from these examples? What do community leaders think, do they think they could be implemented in their communities? What are research questions moving forward regarding sustainability? | |
4:15 p.m. | Closing Remarks and Reflections on Day One |
José Szapocznik, University of Miami | |
Leslie R. Walker-Harding, Seattle Children’s and University of Washington | |
Day 2: Friday, June 10, 2016 |
|
8:50 a.m. | Welcome and Overview of Day Two |
José Szapocznik, University of Miami | |
Leslie R. Walker-Harding, Seattle Children’s and University of Washington |
9:00 a.m. | Panel 5: Being Responsive to Communities in Implementing Evidence Based Programs: What Do Communities Need and What Do They Want? |
Moderator: Alexa Eggleston, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation | |
|
|
Discussion: Communities want to know if evidence-based interventions are efficacious for different populations (e.g., gender, minority populations) and when an intervention needs to be developed for a specific population. What does the evidence tell us? What evidence do we still need? | |
10:30 a.m. | BREAK (transit to breakout groups) |
10:45 a.m. | Breakout Group Activity |
Participants will divide into three moderated small groups. Each group will concentrate on a different topic related to themes from the workshop panels. All groups will discuss the following objectives from their unique perspective: |

Group 2: Sustainability and Funding | |
Co-moderators: Kelly J. Kelleher, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, and Belinda E. Sims, National Institute on Drug Abuse |
Group 3: Programs vs. Principles & Innovative Methodologies | |
Co-moderators: Wilma Peterman Cross, Office of Disease Prevention, National Institutes of Health, and J. David Hawkins, University of Washington | |
11:45 a.m. | BREAK (reconvene in large group) |
12:00 p.m. | Group Activity Report Back and Discussion |
