Document Summary
Four stages of programme development and implementation (rossi) How does this program operate when it is carried out by people other than the developers of the program, and how does it operate in different settings: experimental. A program demonstrates its effectiveness under a small-scale, optimal, highly controlled condition (compared to control group: technological. A program demonstrates effectiveness under real-world conditions, similar to the conditions for which it is eventually intended, but still under the guidance of its developers: diffusional. Program adopted by other organizations/communities and demonstrates effectiveness under real-world conditions when not under the direct scrutiny and guidance of its developers: widespread-implementation. Progress through the diffusional stage brings the program to one or a few communities only. Implementation becomes widespread when a program continues to show its effectiveness in a wide variety of settings and is transferred from its developers to new implementers, who in turn conduct further program diffusion.
