In this global world, many Evidence Supported Interventions (ESI’s) developed in one country are transported to many others. With a successive increase in the number of imported ESI’s, there are several empirical examples of failures of outcome studies to replicate some ESIs’ original benefits. The chapter describes possible reasons of these failures, such as differences in research design, cultural adaptations, and differences in service systems. The authors review the The Planned Intervention Adaptation (PIA) Protocol to guide cultural adaptation of ESI’s and reviews contextual variables that may promote a successful ESI transfer. Finally, the chapter suggests how to include culture in intervention outcome studies, particularly effectiveness trials of imported interventions.Less

There is agreement among researchers and policy makers that child welfare services have been slow to effectively implement ESIs. The authors argue that ‘implementation matters’ and present empirical evidence for the impact of high quality implementation on program outcomes. The chapter examines a variety of issues that make implementation a complex and difficult endeavour in child welfare settings. The authors discuss ways to improve implementation through the use of common elements of interventions and supporting planned and appropriate adaptation of interventions in the service setting, as well as utilizing frameworks of implementation to guide implementation efforts. Finally, the authors identify critical components of implementation such as staff recruitment and selection, staff training and support, intervention and related staff evaluation.Less
