community based Intervention Research coping with the noise of real life in study design
American Journal of Psychiatry, 2002Co-Authors: Ann A Hohmann, Katherine M ShearAbstract:The ultimate goal of clinical Intervention Research is to find a way to improve the care and lives of people suffering from specific psychiatric symptoms, illnesses, and/or disabilities. This article provides to clinical Researchers a set of issues to consider and steps to follow in making the transition to more public-health-oriented, community-based Research. Traditional, academically based, randomized clinical trials test an Intervention against a placebo or alternate treatment control condition, focusing on a single, specific main outcome. Community-based Intervention trials also test a treatment Intervention but in the context of the community environment. These trials, in order to provide meaningful information for community clinical practice, must take into account many factors that are controlled or are not considered in traditional clinical trials. Investigators need to be clear about the goal of community-based Interventions; they need to determine the social and cultural norms, expectations, an...

steps in Intervention Research designing and developing social programs
Research on Social Work Practice, 2010Co-Authors: Mark W Fraser, Maeda J GalinskyAbstract:This article describes a 5-step model of Intervention Research. From lessons learned in our work, we develop an outline of core activities in designing and developing social programs. These include (a) develop problem and program theories; (b) design program materials and measures; (c) confirm and refine program components in efficacy tests; (d) test effectiveness in a variety of practice settings; and (e) disseminate program findings and materials. Last, using a risk and protective factor perspective, we discuss the adaptation of Interventions for new settings and populations.

using multilevel statistical models in social work Intervention Research
Journal of Social Service Research, 2004Co-Authors: James K Nash, Lawrence L Kupper, Mark W FraserAbstract:ABSTRACT Statistical analyses of data from a classroom-based study illustrate the need to account for intra-class clustering in studies involving schools, classrooms, and other higher order units of analysis. Students were clustered in homerooms that were assigned to Intervention and comparison conditions. Standard multiple linear regression analysis yielded a significant group effect but incorrectly ignored intra-cluster response correlations. A multilevel model appropriately accounting for the dependency among responses in the same cluster yielded a nonsignificant group effect. Implications for the analysis of Intervention Research data are discussed.

what is population health Intervention Research
Canadian Journal of Public Health-revue Canadienne De Sante Publique, 2009Co-Authors: Penelope Hawe, Louise PotvinAbstract:Population-level health Interventions are policies or programs that shift the distribution of health risk by addressing the underlying social, economic and environmental conditions. These Interventions might be programs or policies designed and developed in the health sector, but they are more likely to be in sectors elsewhere, such as education, housing or employment. Population health Intervention Research attempts to capture the value and differential effect of these Interventions, the processes by which they bring about change and the contexts within which they work best. In health Research, unhelpful distinctions maintained in the past between Research and evaluation have retarded the development of knowledge and led to patchy evidence about policies and programs. Myths about what can and cannot be achieved within community-level Intervention Research have similarly held the field back. The pathway forward integrates systematic inquiry approaches from a variety of disciplines.

improving the reporting of public health Intervention Research advancing trend and consort
Journal of Public Health, 2008Co-Authors: Rebecca Armstrong, Elizabeth Waters, Laurence Moore, Elisha Riggs, Luis Gabriel Cuervo, Pisake Lumbiganon, Penelope HaweAbstract:Evidence-based public health decision-making depends on high quality and transparent accounts of what Interventions are effective, for whom, how and at what cost. Improving the quality of reporting of randomized and non-randomized study designs through the CONSORT and TREND statements has had a marked impact on the quality of study designs. However, public health users of systematic reviews have been concerned with the paucity of synthesized information on context, development and rationale, implementation processes and sustainability factors. This paper examines the existing reporting frameworks for Research against information sought by users of systematic reviews of public health Interventions and suggests additional items that should be considered in future recommendations on the reporting of public health Intervention. Intervention model, theoretical and ethical considerations, study design choice, integrity of Intervention/process evaluation, context, differential effects and inequalities and sustainability are often overlooked in reports of public health Interventions. Population health policy makers need synthesized, detailed and high quality a priori accounts of effective Interventions in order to make better progress in tackling population morbidities and inequalities. Adding simple criteria to reporting standards will significantly improve the quality and usefulness of published evidence and increase its impact on public health program planning.
