ABSTRACT
In their recent Viewpoint article, Beidas et al. (2023) argue that researchers should test psychosocial interventions in the contexts in which they are meant to be delivered and that they can accelerate the deployment of these interventions by advancing directly from pilot trials to effectiveness and implementation studies without conducting efficacy trials. In this commentary, we argue that this is a well-intended but problematic approach and that there is a more productive strategy for translational behavioral intervention research. The commentary discusses issues concerning intervention development, refinement, and optimization; pilot and efficacy testing of interventions; the contexts in which interventions are delivered; clinical practice guidelines; and quick versus programmatic answers to significant clinical research questions. Testing psychosocial interventions in the contexts in which they are meant to be delivered is a complex task for interventions that are designed to be used in a wide variety of contexts. Nevertheless, interventions can be tested in the contexts in which they are meant to be delivered without sacrificing programmatic intervention development or safety and efficacy testing.
