The Center TRT translation efforts support the CDC’s Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Prevention program by providing practitioners with the best available evidence on preventing and controlling obesity. This includes not only identifying WHAT to do but HOW to do it by providing the guidance, tools, and, in some cases, training to support state program efforts.
The Center TRT investigators and staff, along with the and , developed a four-phase framework to guide translation activities.
Phase 1: Evidence Identification and Review
Existing systematic evidence reviews are used to identify generally accepted behavioral and environmental to obesity. Existing evidence reviews are also used to identify broad evidence-based for addressing these contributing factors. Specific behavioral, environmental and policy-level that address the contributing factors are identified through expert recommendations, published scientific literature, and reports from the field. Interventions are reviewed against an established set of criteria for evidence of the:
methods used to test and/or develop and evaluate the intervention,
potential for public health impact based on the five dimensions of the RE-AIM framework, and
The evidence review process determines whether or not the intervention meets criteria in one of three intervention categories: research-tested, practice-tested, or emerging. Interventions that meet criteria move to Phase 2.
Phase 2: Intervention Abstraction
Following intervention review, Center TRT staff, in collaboration with the intervention developer, abstract and format practice-relevant information into an intervention “template.” The template provides practitioners with an overview of the intervention, including its potential for public health impact defined by Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance ( ); a summary of research findings or evaluation outcomes; the evidence-base for strategies used to support the intervention; the of the intervention; a step-by-step guide to implementation; resources needed to implement the intervention; and sources of additional information, technical assistance and training.
Intervention templates and accompanying materials and tools that support implementation of interventions are disseminated through this website. In addition, Center TRT training courses and online instruction disseminate interventions, implementation tools and best practices/processes.
