Abstract

Bringing evidence based programs to scale was a major initial impetus for the development of the Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF). The ISF demonstrates the importance of the Support System in facilitating the uptake of innovations in the community (the Delivery System). Two strategies that members of the Support System commonly use are training-of-trainers (TOT) models and technical assistance (TA). In this article, we focus on the role of the Support System in bringing evidence-based programs (EBPs) to scale in the Delivery System using a case example, with special attention on two strategies employed by Support Systems-training-of-trainers (TOT) and proactive technical assistance. We then report on findings from a case example from the Promoting Science Based Approaches to Teen Pregnancy Prevention project that furthers our conceptualization of these strategies and the evidence base for them. We also report on the limitations in the literature regarding research on TOTs and proactive TA and provide suggestions for future research on TOTs and proactive TA that will enhance the science and practice of support in the ISF.

Abstract

This study examines an intervention designed to enhance the ability of social service agencies to implement performance-based contracting using the Getting To Outcomes® (GTO®) accountability framework. The GTO approach to contracting focused specifically on outcomes, provided a comprehensive framework for contracts, and provided multi-component support to agencies. The following results were demonstrated after a nine-month intervention: (1) participants reported being more knowledgeable about 10 areas of outcome accountability; (2) the quality of contracts was rated as improved (especially in regard to measurable outcomes), but still needing improvement; and (3) increased collaboration was reported between funders and providers. Limitations, implications and future directions of the study are discussed.

6. Regression to the mean: What happens when lawyers are divorce mediators

Abstract

This article examines the functioning of divorce mediation in a state where a significant proportion of the mediators are attorneys. We argue that divorce mediation in Georgia differs from other states in the extent to which it is integrated into the legal system. We conclude that the presence of a significant number of attorneys-mediators has transformed both the practice of divorce mediation and the practice of divorce law in Georgia. Mediation is more like the practice of law, and the practice of law is more like mediation.

7. Qualitative Evaluation Audits in Practice

Abstract

Among the continuing challenges naturalistic evaluators face is the practical need for defensible conclusions. Guba and Lincoln's external evaluation audit represents one response to this need. In this article, we share our firsthand experiences with such audits, including the evaluation context and the audits'purpose, procedures, and findings. From these experiences, we offer suggestions for future audit practice and discuss several controversies surrounding the audit concept. We conclude with the call for further discussion on these and other controversies, but also with an interim consensus that the audit represents a viable metaevaluative tool for enhancing the internal quality, the external defensibility, and thus the stature and utilization of naturalistic evaluation.

Abstract

Growing out of the authors' experiences with two evaluation audits, this article builds upon the discussion of evaluation audits begun in Greene et al. (Evaluation Review, August, 1988). The article highlights thefollowingfour issues salient to evaluation audits: (1) the importance of thorough contract negotiations and the orientation to the evaluation and audit trail, (2) the power of audits to detect bias, (3) the place of standards and criteria in naturalistic evaluations, and (4) the audit purpose. The authors confirm some of the conclusions from the literature while raising new issues for discussion. They conclude that the audit is an excellent tool for addressing the questions of trustworthiness and quality control in naturalistic enquiry.
