    • Abstract:
      There is limited scientific research on the process of implementing evidence-based programs in the field of aging. The formative existing literature, along with experiences at the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, identified six factors that impact successful and sustained implementation: 1) Community Characteristics, 3) Intra-Organizational Characteristics, 4) Evidence-Based Program Characteristics, 4) Fidelity, 5) Staffing and Training, and 6) Marketing, Cost, and Payment Sources. This article presents an overview of these factors and is intended as guide for selecting and implementing evidence-based programs. It also can serve as a starting point for needed future research on the facilitators of and barriers to successful implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
