How can prevention practitioners find the balance between making adaptions to evidence-based programs (programs) to meet local needs versus implementing them as originally designed?  Understanding a program’s essential elements can help practitioners make decisions about adaptations and how they may influence program outcomes. Essential program elements include the key content, delivery methods and implementer characteristics assumed to influence desired program outcomes.
During this series, presenters will discuss how understanding essential program elements can inform program selection and decisions about delivery and adaptation, and how practitioners can estimate these elements when they are not defined by program developers. Presenters will use case examples to describe how essential program elements can guide decisions about selecting, implementing and evaluating programs in violence prevention. Drawing form evidence-based programs, the sessions will focus primarily on the application of essential program elements to manualized programs, but we will also explore how essential elements can be applied to environmental, policy, and practice-based or promising strategies. The series will include a mix of presentation and discussion and presenters will draw on your experience supporting programs to help apply concepts.

Objectives:
By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to
  1. Describe three types of essential program elements.
  2. Explain how essential program elements can be used to guide decisions about selecting, implementing, and evaluating programs.
  3. Use essential program elements to reflect on prevention strategies developed in practice.
