Effective Interventions

Pediatric asthma is a multifactorial disease, requiring complex, interrelated interventions addressing children, families, schools, and communities. The Merck Childhood Asthma Network, Inc. (MCAN) is a nonprofit organization that provides support to translate evidence-based interventions from research to practice. MCAN developed the rationale and vision for the program through a phased approach, including an extensive literature review, stakeholder engagement, and evaluation of funding gaps. The analysis pointed to the need to identify pediatric asthma interventions implemented in urban U.S. settings that have demonstrated efficacy and materials for replication and to translate the interventions into wider practice. In addition to this overall MCAN objective, specific goals included service and system integration through linkages among health care providers, schools, community-based organizations, patients, parents, and other caregivers. MCAN selected sites based on demonstrated ability to implement effective interventions and to address multiple contexts of pediatric asthma prevention and management. Selected MCAN program sites were mature institutions or organizations with significant infrastructure, existing funding, and the ability to provide services without requiring a lengthy planning period. Program sites were located in communities with high asthma morbidity and intended to integrate new elements into existing programs to create comprehensive care approaches.

Abstract Background As efforts are made to systematically implement an evidence-based task-strengthening strategy for hypertension control (TASSH) in Ghana, understanding their content can help national, regional and district health stakeholders within Ghana’s Health Services (GHS) identify strategies for enhancing intervention uptake and sustainability in their local context. This study sought to describe national, regional and district health stakeholders’ perspectives and characterize the array of strategies needed to enhance the uptake of evidence-based TASSH within Ghana’s Community-based Health and Planning Services (CHPS) zones. Methods This qualitative study was conducted among national, regional and district health stakeholders within GHS serving patients who utilize CHPS zones. The CHPS initiative is Ghana’s flagship strategy for achieving universal health coverage. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 national, regional and district health stakeholders identified via purposive sampling. Interviews were conducted in 2018. Data analysis was conducted between July 2019 and December 2019. Data was analyzed using group concept mapping systems to identify major themes and subthemes. Results About 68 % of participants were male with mean age of 40 years and mean years of experience providing hypertension-related care within GHS of 9 years. A conceptual map emerged, consisting of 46 strategies needed for implementing evidence-based TASSH, organized into 6 clusters: 1) Referral Systems; 2) Availability of Equipment; 3) Protocols and Guidelines; 4) Capacity Building/Training; 5) Policy Reform, and 6) Technical Support and Supervision. Availability of equipment was rated as the most important strategy (mean 4.80 out of 5) needed to implement evidence-based TASSH, while Capacity Building/Training was rated as the most feasible strategy (mean 4.20 out of 5) to address. Although important (mean 4.40 out of 5), Policy reform was rated as the least important and feasible strategy to address. Conclusions These findings demonstrate strategies that can help inform future interventions focused on the adoption and sustainability of evidence-based TASSH within Ghana’s CHPS zones. Also, national, regional and district health stakeholders can support healthcare workers by facilitating access to equipment and strategies for enhancing capacity and training with implementing evidence-based task-shifting hypertension interventions in Ghana.

This article documents the development of a community-based drug intervention for low- to mild-risk drug users who surrendered as part of the Philippine government's anti-drug campaign. It highlights the importance of developing evidence-informed drug recovery interventions that are appropriate to the Asian culture and to developing economies. Interviews and consultations with users and community stakeholders reveal the need for an intervention that would improve the drug recovery skills and life skills of users. Evidence-based interventions were adapted using McKleroy and colleagues’ (2006) Map of Adaptation Process (MAP) framework. The resulting intervention reflected the country's collectivist culture, relational values, propensity for indirect and non-verbal communication, and interdependent self-construal. The use of small groups, interactive and creative methodologies, and the incorporation of music and prayer also recognised the importance of these in the Philippine culture.

Abstract. The public health outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has hit all aspects of life as we know it. We found ourselves trying to solve several concurrent crises that have afflicted us. The European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) launched the Psychologists’ Support Hub to share resources among its members and beyond and promote the continuing adoption of psychological science to battle the pandemic. In the greater context of evidence-based practice (EBP), the best available evidence is what we turn to for help in our decision-making on how best to address different challenges. However, there are challenges in implementing EBP when the science is limited, and we are still expected to be effective and efficient as professionals. The article outlines the need for EBP during the pandemic. Three vignettes display how that can be done while identifying obstacles and recommending ways forward in the future. The first one relates to the development of e-mental health services in Belgium following the March 2020 lockdown. The second describes addressing the needs of older adults in Croatia when it was hit by two crises simultaneously – the March 2020 lockdown and a destructive earthquake. The third looks at how targeted community-based interventions in Norway directed at social change can positively impact times of crisis. Overall, the pandemic presents a unique opportunity for professional growth for researchers, trainers, practitioners, and policymakers alike. EFPA can play a pivotal role in EBP adoption.
