Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance of Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs.

We evaluate the implementation of evidence-based falls prevention programs (EBFPPs) of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Grantees by (1) describing adoption; (2) evaluating implementation through participant adherence; and (3) describing program maintenance. Secondary data analysis of a national data repository included forty-four ACL grantees spanning 31 states who were funded between September 2014 and December 2019 and provided information on over 80,000 older adult participants. Descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages, and means were used to describe adoption, implementation (adherence), and maintenance of EBFPPs.

Dissemination and implementation of evidence-based programs for people with chronic disease: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework, we describe the implementation of evidence-based chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) programs by the Administration for Community Living CDSME Grantees during 2016-2022 and we also explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on implementation.

Methods: Grantees collected data before and after the implementation of the CDSME programs and contributed to the national data repository. Data components included workshop information, participant information, and organizational data.
