Developing and implementing health promotion interventions in sports clubs is challenging. Implementing interventions in real world settings should be specific to a sports club’s context, particularly their voluntary nature. The present study maps and analyzes the development of the PROSCeSS intervention, designed to support sports clubs to implement health promotion. A case study design mobilising Intervention Mapping — needs assessment, matrix of change, theory of action, program design, plan for adoption and implementation and evaluation — describes the multi-phase intervention. Results encompass the main findings from i) a literature review and a concept mapping study as a needs assessment; ii) a Delphi study and health promoting sports club intervention framework to design the matrix of change; iii) a case study among sports clubs and sports federations to select the theory of action; iv) the intervention co-construction to create the program; v) results from a pilot study to validate the plan for adoption; and vi) implementation and presentation of the e-PROSCeSS questionnaire creation and hybrid type-3 protocol as an evaluation method. The discussion explores the tensions created between evidence driven strategies and the habits of sports clubs, the use of top-down versus bottom-up approaches and reflections on the recursive rather than linear process adopted by the authors.

在体育俱乐部制定和实施促进健康的干预措施具有挑战性。在现实世界环境中实施干预措施应该具体到体育俱乐部的背景下，特别是他们的自愿性质。本研究绘制并分析了旨在支持体育俱乐部实施健康促进的process干预措施的发展情况。一个案例研究设计动员干预绘图-需求评估、变化矩阵、行动理论、方案设计、采用和实施计划以及评估-描述了多阶段干预。结果包括以下主要发现：(1)作为需求评估的文献综述和概念图研究；(2)采用德尔菲研究和健康促进体育俱乐部干预框架设计变革矩阵；（三）以体育俱乐部和体育联合会为例，选择行动理论；四、干预共建创造方案；V)验证采用计划的试点研究结果；以及vi)实施和展示e- process问卷创建和混合类型-3协议作为评估方法。讨论探讨了证据驱动策略与体育俱乐部习惯之间产生的紧张关系，自上而下与自下而上方法的使用，以及对作者采用的递归而不是线性过程的反思。

Leaders of organizations serving individuals with disabilities often view their work as rooted in core values. Michael Quinn Patton, a prominent evaluation expert, provides an opportunity to frame the development and evaluation of organizational endeavors around guiding principles or values in action. The following account illustrates how a principles-focused approach can meaningfully engage adults with disabilities in evaluation efforts, empowering individuals that are frequently excluded. We describe the process used to develop a set of guiding principles for Adaptations, a non-residential community serving neurodiverse adults at the Jack and Shirley Silver Center for Diverse Abilities. This six-month evaluation technical assistance project was designed to explore how Adaptations might approach evaluation in a manner that aligns with its core values of belonging, inclusion, and self-determination. To inform the development of Adaptations' six guiding principles, we orchestrated a day-long workshop with a cross-section of community members. The principles subsequently informed the organization’s internal data collection efforts. The article concludes with reflections on lessons learned, including the value of approaching this effort with a co-learning lens and engaging community members in identifying guiding principles for future use in principles-focused evaluation.

服务于残疾人的组织的领导人通常认为他们的工作植根于核心价值观。Michael Quinn Patton是一位杰出的评估专家，他提供了一个围绕指导原则或行动中的价值来构建组织努力的发展和评估的机会。以下描述说明了以原则为中心的方法如何能够有意义地让残疾成年人参与评估工作，赋予经常被排除在外的个人权力。我们描述了用于制定适应指导原则的过程，这是一个非住宅社区，服务于杰克和雪莉·西尔弗不同能力中心的神经多样性成年人。这个为期六个月的评估技术援助项目旨在探索适应性组织如何以符合其归属、包容和自决的核心价值观的方式进行评估。为了为《适应》六项指导原则的制定提供信息，我们组织了一个为期一天的研讨会，由各阶层的社区成员参加。这些原则后来影响了该组织的内部数据收集工作。文章总结了对经验教训的反思，包括以共同学习的视角开展这项工作的价值，以及让社区成员参与确定指导原则，以便将来在以原则为重点的评估中使用。

This study assessed resource allocation among registry activities, which may provide insight for efficient collection of high-quality cancer incidence data. We used a multimodal approach and purposively sampled 21 participating population-based cancer registries in the United States to ensure variation across several registries. The registries reported prospective staffing data and retrospective costing data, completing data collection from October 2021 to September 2022, reporting retrospective costing data for July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. From lessons learned from prior studies, we engaged participating registries early and throughout the study, ensuring the collection of meaningful, accurate quantitative data, as well as insights not captured quantitatively. Case volume is a major driver of registry costs. (On average, high-volume registries outspend low-volume registries by nearly 3x, annually). Upon examination of registry activities by case volume, we found that the two most resource-intensive registry activities are data acquisition and data processing, which may be addressed by innovations, such as electronic reporting and automation. Innovative data transfer and processing approaches could increase timeliness of data collection and reduce the labor resources required to process manually collected data. Registries adopting these innovations might achieve cost savings, which could make resources available to support other registry activities.

本研究评估了登记活动之间的资源分配，这可能为有效收集高质量的癌症发病率数据提供见解。我们采用了一种多模式方法，并对美国21个参与的基于人群的癌症登记处进行了有目的的抽样，以确保多个登记处之间的差异。登记处报告了未来的人员配备数据和回顾性成本数据，完成了2021年10月至2022年9月的数据收集，报告了2020年7月1日至2021年6月30日的回顾性成本数据。从以前的研究中吸取的经验教训，我们在早期和整个研究过程中参与注册，确保收集有意义的，准确的定量数据，以及未定量捕获的见解。案件数量是注册费用的主要驱动因素。（平均而言，大容量注册中心每年的支出比小容量注册中心高出近3倍）。在按个案量检查注册中心活动后，我们发现两项资源最密集的注册中心活动是数据获取和数据处理，这可以通过创新来解决，例如电子报告和自动化。创新的数据传输和处理方法可以提高数据收集的及时性，减少处理人工收集的数据所需的人力资源。采用这些创新的注册中心可以节省成本，从而使资源可用于支持其他注册中心活动。

Despite the growing interest in measuring learning outcomes as evidence of comprehensive education in higher education institutions, objectively assessing these outcomes remains a challenge. This study addresses this problem by developing and validating nine standardized direct assessment scales tailored for engineering programs, with the goal of enhancing quality assurance. Study 1 focused on designing indicators for the scales through expert workshops and peer judgment processes, looking for content validity using Fleiss Kappa. Study 2 involved instructors using these instruments to assess various learning outcomes in a STEM-focused university. Analysis of 1420 assessments revealed strong validity and reliability indicators, including unifactorial structures, high reliability, discrimination, and appropriate difficulty levels for all scales. The research contributes evidence supporting the content validity of these assessment instruments, offering valuable tools for researchers and practitioners in engineering education to support continuous improvement. These scales have the potential to support future comparative research, inform quality assurance decisions, and enhance comprehensive education practices. Finally, the study discusses its limitations and provides directions for future research.

尽管人们对衡量学习成果作为高等教育机构全面教育的证据越来越感兴趣，但客观评估这些成果仍然是一个挑战。本研究通过开发和验证为工程项目量身定制的9个标准化的直接评估量表来解决这个问题，其目标是增强质量保证。研究1侧重于通过专家研讨会和同伴判断过程设计量表的指标，并使用Fleiss Kappa寻找内容效度。研究2涉及教师使用这些工具来评估stem大学的各种学习成果。对1420份评估的分析显示了较强的效度和信度指标，包括单因子结构、高信度、可判别性和适用于所有量表的适当难度。该研究为这些评估工具的内容有效性提供了证据，为工程教育的研究人员和实践者提供了有价值的工具，以支持持续改进。这些量表有可能支持未来的比较研究，为质量保证决策提供信息，并加强综合教育实践。最后，讨论了本研究的局限性，并提出了未来研究的方向。

This study examines administration-faculty relationships at Chiana Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana, highlighting challenges in communication, cultural sensitivity, decision-making, and professional development. Using a mixed-methods approach, findings reveal that 75.6 % of faculty feel their concerns are unaddressed while communication channels exist. In absence of cultural sensitivity training, many (73.2 %) suggested that cultural diversity influences decision-making and conflict resolution. Among faculty members, majority (54.9 %) is involved in decision-making, with most (92.7 %) of them without access to adequate resources. The study’s novelty lies in its application of transformational leadership and participatory decision-making theories in a rural Ghanaian context, addressing an underexplored educational landscape. Although limited to one institution, it provides crucial insights for improving administration-faculty collaboration. Recommendations include enhancing communication, fostering participatory decision-making, and expanding cultural sensitivity training to create a more inclusive educational environment.

本研究考察了加纳中国高级中学（SHS）的行政与教师关系，突出了沟通、文化敏感性、决策和专业发展方面的挑战。使用混合方法的方法，调查结果显示，75.6% %的教师认为，在存在沟通渠道的情况下，他们的担忧没有得到解决。在缺乏文化敏感性培训的情况下，许多人（73.2 %）认为文化多样性影响决策和冲突解决。在教师中，大多数（54.9 %）参与决策，其中大多数（92.7 %）没有获得足够的资源。这项研究的新颖之处在于它将变革型领导和参与式决策理论应用于加纳农村的背景下，解决了一个未被充分开发的教育领域。虽然仅限于一个机构，但它为改善管理与教师的合作提供了重要的见解。建议包括加强沟通，促进参与性决策，扩大文化敏感性培训，以创造更具包容性的教育环境。

Transitional Living Programs are popular interventions in Canada and the United States, for youth who are homeless or emerging from the foster care system. Some researchers have emphasized that an increased effectiveness of Transitional Living Programs is possible with an underlying philosophy such as Housing First or harm reduction. However, literature on the impact of these types of programs on homeless youth is limited. Given the lack of knowledge in this area, the aim of our longitudinal qualitative study was to understand the impact of a long-term transitional housing program, operating from a Housing First and harm reduction philosophy, on homeless youth. The 20-unit transitional housing program is in a large metropolitan Canadian city and provides support on-site. Homeless youth between the ages of 18–24, admitted into the transitional housing program were eligible for participation in the study. Fifteen youth participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews and assessments at baseline and seven youth were followed-up with 6 months later. The data was analyzed using the six-step process of thematic analysis. Youth reported that living in the transitional housing program over time contributed to decreased substance use and positively influenced their educational and career outcomes, interpersonal relationships, and health and well-being. Perhaps the most significant impact described by youth was the non-judgmental environment that parallels the Housing First and harm reduction philosophy of the program. Further, close relationships with staff were emphasized as a major driver for positive changes in participants’ outcomes over time. The current study also found substantial need for further research in areas such as aftercare for youth leaving transitional housing and the need for support for youth who must leave these programs prematurely.

过渡生活计划在加拿大和美国是很受欢迎的干预措施，针对无家可归或从寄养系统中脱颖而出的年轻人。一些研究人员强调，在“住房优先”或“减少伤害”等基本理念的指导下，“过渡生活计划”的有效性是可能提高的。然而，关于这些项目对无家可归的年轻人的影响的文献是有限的。鉴于这方面的知识缺乏，我们纵向定性研究的目的是了解长期过渡性住房计划的影响，从住房第一和减少伤害的理念出发，对无家可归的年轻人。这个20个单元的过渡性住房项目位于加拿大一个大城市，并提供现场支持。年龄在18-24岁之间的无家可归的年轻人，被允许进入过渡性住房计划，有资格参加这项研究。15名青少年在基线时参加了深入的半结构化访谈和评估，7名青少年在6个月后接受了随访。数据分析采用六步专题分析过程。青年报告说，随着时间的推移，在过渡性住房方案中生活有助于减少物质使用，并对他们的教育和职业成果、人际关系以及健康和福祉产生积极影响。也许年轻人所描述的最重要的影响是不评判的环境，与住房第一和减少伤害的理念相一致。此外，与工作人员的密切关系被强调为参与者成果随着时间的推移发生积极变化的主要驱动力。目前的研究还发现，在离开过渡性住房的青年的善后照顾和对必须过早离开这些项目的青年的支持等领域，还需要进一步的研究。

Service learning courses enable students and lecturers at higher education institutions to take on social responsibility by collaborating with community partners. In this literature review that is complemented by empirical examples, we present advantages and challenges of this teaching approach as well as guidelines for developing concepts for a university-wide implementation and evaluation of service learning. Our article is informed by higher education, implementation and evaluation research and findings from the Third Mission project of the University of Vienna, Austria. Within the scope of the project, we conducted a multi-stakeholder workshop and an interview study with representatives from seven universities. We illustrate the service learning approach with two course examples from the University of Vienna’s psychology master’s programme. Then, we discuss how service learning can be systematically implemented at the university level using frameworks from implementation science and findings from an interview study. Results indicate that successful implementation of service learning at the university level is supported by long-term collaboration between the university and community partners and an institutional culture that visibly values students’ and lecturers’ additional efforts. Finally, we seek to advance the evaluation of higher education by presenting a comprehensive participatory approach to service learning assessment that actively involves diverse stakeholders, including students, faculty, and community partners and that can be applied across various disciplines. By integrating multiple perspectives, we offer a framework for capturing the multidimensional impacts of service learning on educational outcomes and community engagement.

服务学习课程使高等教育机构的学生和讲师能够通过与社区伙伴合作来承担社会责任。在这篇文献综述中，我们以实证例子为补充，提出了这种教学方法的优势和挑战，以及为在大学范围内实施和评估服务学习开发概念的指导方针。我们的文章来源于奥地利维也纳大学第三使命项目的高等教育、实施和评估研究和结果。在项目范围内，我们举办了多方利益相关者研讨会，并与七所大学的代表进行了访谈研究。我们用维也纳大学心理学硕士课程的两个课程例子来说明服务学习方法。然后，我们讨论了如何使用实施科学的框架和访谈研究的结果在大学层面系统地实施服务学习。结果表明，在大学层面成功实施服务学习，需要大学与社区伙伴之间的长期合作，以及一种明显重视学生和讲师额外努力的机构文化的支持。最后，我们寻求通过提出一种全面的参与式服务学习评估方法来推进高等教育的评估，这种方法积极地涉及不同的利益相关者，包括学生、教师和社区合作伙伴，并且可以应用于各个学科。通过整合多个视角，我们提供了一个框架，用于捕捉服务学习对教育成果和社区参与的多维影响。

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely used stress management intervention for work-related stress, however the effect on return to work is unclear. Further, there is a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms and contexts that make CBT interventions work (or not). This project aims to use a realist evaluation approach to explore the outcomes of a stress management intervention at a Danish Occupational Health Clinic and to understand if, how and why it works (mechanisms), for whom and in what circumstances (contexts). Firstly, the initial programme theory (IPT) will be elicited. Secondly, the IPT will be tested using a mix of methods. The primary outcome of the intervention; return to work, will be assessed in a quasi-experimental study using register data on sick-leave compensation. In a cohort study explanatory variables from patient surveys and national registries associated with outcomes will be explored. Finally, realist theory driven interviews with patients will explore what works, for whom in what context. The data will be analysed using a realist logic, and synthesized to refine, refute, or confirm the IPT. The refined programme theory will offer insights about what patient groups benefit from the intervention (if any), under what circumstances, and why.

认知行为疗法（CBT）是最广泛应用于工作压力管理的干预手段，但其对恢复工作的影响尚不清楚。此外，人们对CBT干预有效（或无效）的机制和背景缺乏了解。本项目旨在采用现实评估方法，探索丹麦职业健康诊所压力管理干预的结果，并了解它是否有效、如何有效以及为什么有效（机制）、对谁有效以及在什么情况下有效（背景）。首先，将引出初始程序理论（IPT）。其次，IPT将使用多种方法进行测试。干预的主要结果；返回工作岗位，将在一项准实验研究中使用病假补偿登记数据进行评估。在一项队列研究中，将探讨来自患者调查和国家登记的与结果相关的解释变量。最后，现实主义理论驱动的病人访谈将探索什么是有效的，在什么情况下对谁有效。数据将使用现实主义逻辑进行分析，并综合以完善、反驳或确认IPT。改进后的方案理论将提供关于哪些患者群体从干预中受益（如果有的话）、在什么情况下以及为什么受益的见解。

The study examines the key community values defining the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) institutional climate capacity of coastal communities in the context of ecotourism-based conservation projects along the Maharashtra coastal belt, India. The study proposes conceptualized dimensions based on the Situation-Actor-Process-Learning (SAP-L) model. Data was collected through consultative approaches involving CSOs, NGOs, and SHGs, using focused group discussions and key informant interviews in the conservation project areas. The study evaluates the CSOs institutional strengths, weaknesses and determines key factors influence their institutional climate capacities. The findings indicate that CSO expertise and collaborations foster communication and trust among ecotourism beneficiaries, incorporating sociocultural factors and promoting climate action orientation. Planning and budgetary processes assist in need-based scenario planning for CSO management decisions. The outcomes contribute to understanding CSO’s climate capacity in coastal ecotourism, informing policy and practice. The study also emphasizes the need for further quantitative research in this area.

本研究以印度马哈拉施特拉邦沿海地区生态旅游为基础的保护项目为背景，考察了定义公民社会组织（cso）沿海社区机构气候能力的关键社区价值观。本研究提出基于情境-行为者-过程-学习（SAP-L）模型的概念化维度。收集资料的方法包括谘询民间社会组织、非政府组织和环保团体，以及在保育计划范围内进行的焦点小组讨论和主要资料提供者访谈。本研究评估了民间社会组织的制度优势和制度劣势，并确定了影响其制度气候能力的关键因素。研究结果表明，公民社会组织的专业知识和合作促进了生态旅游受益者之间的沟通和信任，融入了社会文化因素，促进了气候行动导向。规划和预算程序有助于为公民社会组织管理决策进行基于需求的情景规划。研究结果有助于理解公民社会组织在沿海生态旅游中的气候能力，为政策和实践提供信息。该研究还强调了在这一领域进一步进行定量研究的必要性。

Youth violence is a significant public health concern in the U.S. The current study identified qualitative themes related to aspects of community readiness including biggest concerns about youth violence, knowledge of youth violence prevention efforts, community climate, priorities for mobilization, and community resources in an urban, economically marginalized community. A total of 10 community members and 26 community partners including service providers and organization leaders participated in qualitative interviews. Study findings identified themes across the above aspects of community readiness that highlighted the devastating costs of youth violence for families, including being a victim of violence and the continual worry about youths’ safety that impacted day-to-day living and emotional health. In describing biggest concerns, community climate, and priorities for mobilization, participants focused on the need to address social and structural community-level risk factors for youth violence. Participants also described perspectives on barriers and supports related to community members’ openness to change, and discussed community strengths and resources. These results offered a context-specific picture of community readiness that has implications for youth violence prevention.

在美国，青少年暴力是一个重要的公共卫生问题。目前的研究确定了与社区准备方面相关的定性主题，包括对青少年暴力的最大关注，青少年暴力预防工作的知识，社区气候，动员的优先事项，以及城市，经济边缘化社区的社区资源。共有10名社区成员和26名社区合作伙伴（包括服务提供者和组织领导人）参与了定性访谈。研究结果确定了社区准备的上述各个方面的主题，突出了青少年暴力给家庭带来的毁灭性代价，包括成为暴力的受害者以及对青少年安全的持续担忧，这影响了日常生活和情感健康。在描述最令人关切的问题、社区气候和动员的优先事项时，与会者着重于解决社会和结构性社区层面青年暴力风险因素的必要性。与会者还描述了与社区成员对变革的开放有关的障碍和支持的观点，并讨论了社区的优势和资源。这些结果提供了社区准备情况的具体情况，对预防青少年暴力有影响。
