Abstract

Implementation and sustainment of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) is influenced by outer (e.g., broader environments in which organizations operate) and inner (e.g., organizations, their administrators, and staff) contexts. One important outer-context element that shapes the inner context is funding, which is complex and unpredictable. There is a dearth of knowledge on how funding arrangements affect sustainment of EBIs in human service systems and the organizations delivering them, including child welfare and behavioral health agencies. This study uses qualitative interview and focus group data with stakeholders at the system, organizational, and provider levels from 11 human service systems in two states to examine how stakeholders strategically negotiate diverse and shifting funding arrangements over time. Study findings indicate that, while diverse funding streams may contribute to flexibility of organizations and possible transformations in the human service delivery environment, a dedicated funding source for EBIs is crucial to their successful implementation and sustainment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
