The Impact of Partnerships and Team-Effectiveness in Supporting the Implementation of Preventive Interventions for Families in Community-Based Settings

Awardee: Ryan Singh, PhD. - Oregon Social Learning Center

Co-Investigator(s): Lisa Saladana, PhD. 

Specific Aims:  

  1. Conduct a rapid qualitative assessment of team processes and emergent states impacting
    active support for PRE-FAIR during the implementation period. Through semi-structured interviews of key SSP and CWS leadership, supervisors, and frontline staff (N = 18), an assessment will be employed to contextualize the mechanisms that lead to active support for PRE-FAIR implementation. Team process mechanisms (i.e., goal specification, communication, coordination) have been activated, whereas less is understood regarding emergent state mechanisms. Based on the potential of a shared mental model in improving coordination, a sub-aim is proposed: Work with partners to conceptualize a shared mental model of team tasks related to supporting PRE-FAIR.
  2. Synthesize findings from Aim 1 with PRE-FAIR outcome data from provider agencies to
    develop recommendations for a sustainment plan to share with partners. PRE-FAIR outcome data (e.g.,
    number of PRE-FAIR referrals over time) from two provider agencies, collected as part of routine performance monitoring, will be compiled with findings from Aim 1. With input from partners, a report will be developed and shared, first with local SSP and CWS leadership, and then with state DHS leadership to help make recommendation for the most effective ways that local systems can work synergistically with partners at the community level to implement and then sustain preventive interventions for the benefit of children and families.
