Benefits of Adopting Uniform Adaptations for Evidence Based Practices
Why are We Working Toward Adopting Uniform Adaptations to Evidence Based Practices? • More uniform assessment • Evaluation of program process and effects • Justifying program continuation
SAMHSA Expects Them • RFA’s require you to describe one or more EBPs you will be implementing • A specific EBP is rarely an exact fit for your program • You have the option to describe and justify adaptations to the EBP
So, the EBP is Not an Ideal Fit • Let’s talk about adaptations, and why they were made • In the EBP • In your Context
Changes in the EBP Design • Target population • Duration and timing • Intervention design • Intervention content • Outcomes • Assessments • Evaluation
Changes in the Context • Infrastructure constraints • Billing and reporting requirements • Training needs • Need for oversight
Adaptations During the Program • Changes in the EBP How? When? Why?
Where do we go from here? • Continuing to seek input from grantees on: • Their experience with adapting EBPs • Opportunities and challenges that using uniform adaptations of EBPs might present. • Grantee input at all phases of the process • Assemble a small team of experienced grantee evaluators to develop plans to achieve the desired outcomes.
