Engaging Partners in Caring Communities
Sponsor: Tennessee State University
Summary
The goal of the EPICC observational study is to learn about capacity to implement evidence-based health promotion programs (EBPs) in congregations that are offered semi-structured technical assistance (TA). Congregational teams will complete an implementation capacity assessment survey before the TA is offered and 10 months later, after TA has been provided for up to 10 months. Participating congregations will be a convenience sample of congregations in Davidson County, TN that serve primarily African American communities.

Interventions
Technical assistance is designed to integrate Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) strategies, and Getting To Outcomes-TA.
The TA is tailored to each congregation using the results of the implementation capacity survey completed by the congregation's team and materials from the EB Program selected by the congregation. The TA teams of two research staff are being trained and coached by Dr. Abe Wandersman, lead developer of Getting To Outcomes-TA (GTO-TA). TA sessions are audio-recorded and will be evaluated for fidelity to GTO-TA, and use of specific ERIC strategies.
