| Abstract: Behavior analysis has a long history of developing effective intervention technologies in research contexts. However, maintenance of effects beyond the initial experimental implementation can prove difficult. This panel will discuss the benefits of community driven rather than theory driven research projects. Examples of effective dissemination strategies (e.g., train the trainer model, environmental redesign, outreach to ethnically diverse communities) will be provided. Finally, panelists will present strategies that have been used to create and maintain programs in a range of community and long-term care settings after the researcher leaves. |
