Question: Incidence Reduction Model of Prevention

Using the information provided in the assigned article on bullying by Donnon, generate an Incidence Reduction Formula for Problem Identification in Prevention Program Development and Evaluation, adapted from Albee by Conyne (on page 56 of the Conyne text). See also a more detailed version in the appendix on page 178 of the Conyne text.

Discuss the essential factors (deficits and strengths) of the model in this case example. Based on the information you have gathered, what type of intervention/prevention program would you envision?

( I attached all readings, I attached a copy of examples of the answer please do not copy from the examples) You must use at least 2 references from the readings to support your answer 


unit reading: Basing Programs On Need And Criteria

graduates are working in many different types of organizations and community-based services. As a current or future leader in your community, state, or nation, you may be spearheading the type of community needs assessment carried out by the Salvation Army as described by Eschenfelder (2010) in the Journal of Health & Human Services Administration. Calley (2011) places establishing the need for programming as the first step in the comprehensive program planning process, and refers to "data-based decision making" (p. 35). You may be surprised by the different types of needs assessments and the detailed processes for carrying them out! In this unit, you will have an opportunity to flesh out one of these types of assessment. If you plan to be a leader in your community, the textbooks for this course should be among those you keep on your shelf! Calley (2011) and Conyne (2010) provide the highest level of Evidence Based Practice in Program Development and Evaluation!

Fortunately, many practitioners are involved in practical evaluation and have been willing to take the time to publish their results, to the benefit of all who are involved in program development and evaluation. Austin, McClelland, Perrault, and Sieppert (2009) describe the evolution of the Elder-friendly Communities Program, while Donnon (2010) outlines research that could contribute to the research base for developing a bullying intervention and prevention program. Hopefully you have printed out the Framework for Program Development and Evaluation (Comeau, 2011). Place it beside you as you read Austin, et al's description of their work. How many of the elements do you recognize?

In this unit, you will also look at Conyne's (2010) perspective on needs assessment and his adaptation of Albee's Incidence Reduction Model. You will apply the data from Donnon's research to generate an Incidence Reduction Formula for Problem Identification in Prevention Program Development and Evaluation. Again referring to the comprehensive nature of program development and evaluation depicted by Calley (2011), Conyne (2010), and Comeau (2011), Conyne states, "an incidence reduction, collaborative, participative, culturally relevant approach to program development and evaluation is best suited to prevention" (p. 72)
