Readiness for Dissemination
NREPP's Readiness for Dissemination ratings summarize the amount and general quality of the resources available to support the use of the intervention. Higher scores indicate more and higher quality resources available. Readiness for Dissemination ratings apply to the intervention as a whole.
Criteria for Rating Readiness for Dissemination
Each reviewer independently evaluates the intervention's Readiness for Dissemination using the following three criteria:
- Availability of implementation materials
- Availability of training and support resources
- Availability of quality assurance procedures
Reviewers use a scale of 0.0 to 4.0, with 4.0 being the highest rating given.
1. Availability of Implementation Materials
(e.g., treatment manuals, brochures, information for administrators)
0 = No materials or resources are available that could assist with program implementation.
1 = Limited materials and resources are available that could facilitate but not directly assist with program implementation.
2 = Limited materials and resources are available that directly assist with program implementation.
3 = Adequate materials and resources are available that directly assist with program implementation.
4 = Adequate materials and resources are available that directly assist with program implementation, and they are of high quality and appropriate for the intended audience(s).
