Maintenance

(Both Individual Participant and Program/Setting Level)

• Consider long-term follow-up of at least 6 months to 1 year following your last intervention contact.
• Consider continued contact and consultation to participating organizations or settings who wish to continue the intervention after your study has ended.
• Debrief with intervention agents and organizational decision makers after the intervention and identify what they liked best and least about the program, and which aspects they would be interested in continuing or modifying.
• Collect information on whether the setting or organization continues the program after your investigation is completed to estimate the potential for sustainability. *Many estimates can be made using existing public and vital statistics data (see Links)
