Although crime control policy and program development processes are increasingly being informed by scientific evidence, identifying and adopting what works is only part of what’s needed to realize positive outcomes. Evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) still have to be implemented with fidelity and integrity in order to be successful. Unfortunately, implementation is not an easy task. Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized. This webinar will describe three common approaches for being evidence-based and the inherent implementation challenges associated with each. It will demonstrate the importance and difficulty of sound implementation using real world examples, and describe key lessons learned from implementation science that practitioners can use across a range of settings to deliver EBPs with greater fidelity, thereby improving outcomes. Roger Przybylski, Founder/Consultant, RKC Group and Research Director, JRSA presented for the webinar and Chris Asplen, Executive Director, National Criminal Justice Association moderated the event. The webinar recording, slides and transcript are available to the public via the NCJA website.

In April, 2018, the NCJA staff began working with Roger Przybylski, consultant and founder of RKC Group, and Director of Research for the Justice Research and Statistics Association on webinar content and scheduling. The goal of the one-hour webinar, which was held on May 15, 2018 was to raise awareness about the importance of difficulty of implementation while introducing the notion of implementation science and the key lessons for tackling implementation challenges and achieving a high degree of fidelity in programs and practices.
The one-hour "Implementing Evidence Based Practices and Services with Fidelity" webinar was held on May 15, 2018. 559 people register to attend.*
*Due to technical difficulties, the actual number of attendees is unknown.
The webinar recording, slides, and transcript were uploaded to the NCJA website on May 16, 2018. These materials are available to the public for download at https://www.ncja.org/ncja-events/webinars
