Description

This method is designed to facilitate the adaptation of existing evidence-based interventions (EBI) in novel situations. The proposed model enhances the process of modifying an EBI without competing with or contradicting its core elements or theoretical underpinnings.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The ADAPT-ITT method guides users through eight steps:

  1. Assessment – Obtain a comprehensive understanding of the target population.
  2. Decision – Select interventions and decided whether to adopt or adapt.
  3. Adaptation – Use a pretested methodology to better understand how to adapt.
  4. Production – Create an adaptation plan and determine goals.
  5. Topical experts – Provide substantive content and technical assistance.
  6. Integration – Integrate all forms of information.
  7. Training – Train all relevant personnel.
  8. Testing – Pilot test for adaptation efficacy.
