Inventory and Assessment of
NBCCEDP Interventions
Evaluation
November 1, 2007
Purpose of Study

Inventory NBCCEDP interventions used to
recruit women for screening

Inventory interventions used for the
professional development of program staff and
healthcare providers

Create a database of these interventions
Purpose of Study

Assess the interventions for their
application of evidence-based cancer
prevention practices

Disseminate the findings to
encourage effective, evidence-based
interventions for recruiting women
and the professional development of
healthcare providers
Research Questions
The inventory project will answer the following questions:

What is the range of recruitment and professional development
activities conducted by NBCCEDP grantees?

What recruitment and professional development activities are
perceived to be effective by NBCCEDP grantees?

What dissemination strategies for evidence-based interventions to
increase cancer screening are effective for NBCCEDP grantees?

What factors influenced NBCCEDP adoption of interventions in
general (e.g., intervention, organizational)? What factors influenced
adoption of EBIs?
Research Questions

What is the knowledge and use of evidence-based resources for
increasing cancer screening by NBCCEDP grantees (i.e., Community
Guide, RTIPS)?

To what extent do the recruitment and professional development
activities match evidence-based interventions to increase breast and
cervical cancer screening?

To what extent do NBCCEDP grantees implement process steps or
core elements from evidence-based interventions for their
recruitment and professional development activities? (intervention
fidelity)
Inventory Project Progress

Potential Areas of Research from
the Inventory Project

Dissemination Research
– Grantees will report on how they learned about programs and
what EBIs they are using
– Test strategies to spread knowledge about evidence-based public
health interventions to achieve greater use and impact of EBIs

Evaluating Promising Program Strategies
– Grantees may report “promising intervention strategies” that are
intervention categories listed as having “insufficient evidence” or
are not a recommended strategy in the Community Guide or the
intervention literature
– Collaboratively evaluate “promising strategies”
