RE-AIM Measures for Mixed-Methods Data Collection

DOMAIN DEFINITION PROVIDER*
Implementation Impact Outcomes
Reach * Those who access care, or initiate SBIRT (numerator) out of the number of people in need (denominator) who are all individuals that screen positive in the mwTool (men ≥4; women ≥335,54-56) Characteristics of those reached vs. not* (gender, age, health outcomes and urbanicity) Community Health Worker (CHW)/Patient (Pt)
Adoption- Clinic and Staff Level Number of clinics/CHW using SBIRT (numerator) over those expected (denominator, all in each district)**. Research Assistant (RA)/ CHW
Clinics Characteristics of clinics adopting vs. not in both conditions** (Urbanicity: rural/urban; number of CHW; patients’ characteristics (i.e., comorbidities; access barriers); Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale - 15 items57; Ready Set Change (organizational readiness for change)51; The Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) Planning Tool, 27- item scale26,58,59; The Program Sustainability Assessment Tool, 40-items60,61)
Staff (Causal Model33,62) Characteristics of CHWs adopting vs. not in both conditions** (age; gender; Work; Self-efficacy, 10 items6365; Intentions (2-items; 7-point scale) asking how willing and how likely one is to use each SBIRT component66,67; Attitudes towards each component of SBIRT (6 standard semantic differential scales)68; Norms or perception that other people like them will use the SBIRT (6 standard item stems); and Self-Efficacy (two statements) measuring CHWs’/supervisors’ perceptions of their skills and abilities to perform SBIRT
Implementation Fidelity ** Consistency of implementation across time in both conditions. Characteristics of Clinics/CHW as described above in Adoption RA/CHW
Maintenance Use over two years.
Number of clinics using SBIRT**
Adaptations to protocols**
Characteristics of Clinics/CHW as described above in Adoption**
RA/CHW
Clinical Effectiveness Outcomes
Symptoms * AUDIT54,56,69 – 10-item instrument developed by the WHO CHW/Pt
Functioning * Short Form Health Survey 12 (SF-12)3740 CHW/Pt
Other Health Related Through electronic medical records CHW/Pt
Outcomes * (e.g., HIV viral load, adherence to care for HIV/TB)
Cost Effectiveness Outcomes
Cost (Effort and Time) ** Cost as milestones are accomplished (Stages of Implementation Completion Scale (SIC; 8-stages of implementation: Readiness or Pre-Implementation, Adoption RA/CHW
or Implementation, and Sustainability/Competency)30 & Cost of Implementing New Strategies (COINS; Mapping Implementation Resources Using the SIC)70

recorded by CHWs or Supervisors as clinical record; de-identified aggregate collected every 6 months – using mSBIRT or REDCap

administered by Research assistant - REDCap (secure data capture/management web tool) will be used for data management

Note: Qualitative methods will assess all domains in satisfaction, barriers/facilitators, community engagement/priority given to alcohol services
