Unit 5 PRE/POST TEST: Installation and Initial Implementation

Note: These questions will be assembled to create both the pretest and posttest for Unit 5.

Questions

1. Practice profiles describe:

1. How an intervention will work in everyday practice 

2. The skills and expertise of the implementation team members

3. Protocols for collecting data

4. Strategies for engaging key partners and stakeholders on implementation teams

2. Even when an intervention is provided by an outside agency, frontline workers and supervisors typically play important roles in referring children and families to the intervention, supporting their participation, and observing their response.

1. True 

2. False

3. A theory of change: (modified cumulative question)

1. Identifies the problems in a client’s life that require treatment.

2. Is developed after an intervention is selected to communicate to stakeholders how it will address the problem.

3. Operationalizes the intervention by providing criteria for measuring fidelity.

4. Is a hypothesis that describes the root cause of the problem, the desired outcome(s), and how to reach those outcomes. 

4. The stage of the Development, Implementation, and Assessment Approach when an agency prepares for implementation by making sure the intervention is clearly defined and will be well supported is the:

4. Installation Stage 

5. Initial Implementation Stage

5. When Diamond County workers and supervisors identified a potential challenge in talking to parents and relatives who had concerns about Medication Assisted Treatment, this was an example of:

2. Practice profiles demonstrating that the intervention was not being implemented as intended.

3. A communications protocol lacking adequately specific behavioral indicators for working with families.

4. Confirmation that Diamond County should select a different intervention.

6. Data to guide decision-making throughout implementation will be needed on:

1. Implementation supports

2. Fidelity

3. Utilization

4. Short- and long-term outcomes

5. All of the above 
