Disruptive innovations for designing and diffusing evidence-based interventions.

Mary Jane Rotheram‐Borus, Dallas Swendeman, Bruce F. Chorpita · 2012 · American Psychologist

Summary. Evidence-based interventions remain underadopted in the United States despite rapid growth. The authors argue that applying disruptive innovation principles—simplifying interventions, reducing costs, and improving accessibility—can accelerate EBI diffusion. They propose four research approaches: synthesizing common elements across interventions, experimenting with new delivery formats including technology and paraprofessionals, adopting market strategies for promotion, and implementing continuous quality improvement based on monitoring data.
