ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) has made great strides in increasing accessibility to its year-long, evidence-based lifestyle change program, with around 3000 organizations having delivered the program. This large dissemination effort offers a unique opportunity to identify organization-level factors associated with program implementation and reach (enrollment) across diverse settings. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine the relationships among Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) Inner Setting and Outer Setting constructs and the implementation outcome of reach.METHODS:
This study analyzed data from a 2021 cross-sectional online survey with 586 National DPP Staff (lifestyle coaches, master trainers, program coordinators) with information about their organization, implementation outcomes, and responses to quantitative CFIR Inner Setting and Outer Setting construct items. Structural equation modeling was used to test a hypothesized path model with Inner and Outer Setting variables to explore direct and indirect pathways to enrollment.RESULTS:
The CFIR items had good internal consistency and indicated areas of implementation strength and weakness. Eight variables included as part of the CFIR structural characteristics and one organization characteristic variable had significant direct relationships with enrollment. The length of delivery, number of lifestyle coaches, number of full-time staff, large organization size, and organizations delivering in rural, suburban, and/or urban settings all had positive significant direct relationships with enrollment, while academic organizations and organizations with only non-White participants enrolled in their National DPP lifestyle change programs had a negative association with enrollment.CONCLUSIONS:
Participant reach is an important implementation outcome for the National DPP and vital to making population-level decreases in diabetes incidence in the USA. Our findings suggest that to facilitate enrollment, program implementers should focus on organizational structural characteristics such as staffing. Strengths of this study include the use of adapted and newly developed quantitative CFIR measures and structural equation modeling. Health prevention programs can use the methods and findings from this study to further understand and inform the impact of organization factors on implementation outcomes.
