The identification of these factors can provide empirical evidence for “lessons learned” that can facilitate their replication in other countries. The <strong>procedure</strong> is to analyze qualitative data which were collected during the process evaluation of each program from 2015 to 2018, by using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to guide the analysis. Constructs that strongly influence implementation effectiveness were identified through a cross- case comparison of ratings. The categories of analysis are the domains: intervention characteristics, outer settings, inner settings, characteristics of individuals and process and these were used in a concrete study of three general processes: planning, preparation, and implementation. Among the <strong>lessons learned</strong> were the importance of marketing networks for the goods and services produced by beneficiaries; the importance of leadership engagement of the field team and a good learning climate for them; the need to consider differences in the educational level of beneficiaries, their ability to run a business, and their local micro contexts in the program design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102746"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145879242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research shows that combining other analyses with Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) can complement certain aspects of strategy determination or quantify strategies. This paper proposes a strategy linkage based on specific regions. Generalized strategy formulation obtained from SWOT analysis is often ineffective in implementation and goal achievement. This is primarily because specific strategy formulation is essential in producing more effective and implementable strategy in the field. Despite the potential, methods that integrate qualitative and quantitative data are still rarely practiced. Therefore, this paper aims to offer an alternative approach to specific strategy formulation at the sub-regional level by integrating SWOT analysis with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), known as SWOT-QCA. The application of SWOT-QCA was shown through a case study of economic development in Depok City, Indonesia. The results provided several innovative contributions to regional planning. These results have significant implications for addressing knowledge gaps, particularly in strategy formulation methodologies, which can assist planners and local governments in future regional development efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102750"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145866024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods like 'theory-of-change,' 'realist evaluation,' and 'systems evaluation' try to give a more complete picture of change by looking at the context of the programme. However, when these methods are used to study programmes that aim to reduce health inequalities, they often miss a crucial issue: how power affects people's health and engagement with programmes. This paper addresses that gap by reporting an ethnographic study of a community health promotion programme that was informed by a social theory of power (figurational sociology). When looking at how power dynamics played out in the targeted community, we could see why residents often did not trust the people running the programme, and why local status was so important to them. When programme staff understood these power dynamics, they were better able to connect with residents and help them improve their wellbeing. We argue that combining this way of looking at power with our observational approach gives us a much clearer understanding of how complex public health programmes work and why they succeed or fail in their aims.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48046,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation and Program Planning","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 102745"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145828770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Colorado’s Medication for Opioid Use Disorders (MOUD) program expansion was funded to address this problem in rural counties, which are disproportionately affected.

Interviews (N = 26) with target adopters and influencers (e.g. pilot and prospective agencies, community partners) revealed expansion barriers of greatest priority to solve: 1) organizations’ capacity to provide MOUD; (2) access to treatment and patient-centered care; (3) service and system coordination; (4) stigma associated with OUD; (5) concerns about financial sustainability; and (6) mandated reporting systems. We used process mapping to analyze each organization’s context, structure, and workflows. This phase of conceptualization led to the design of new MOUD program elements to enhance its value: a clinical toolkit and guidelines, an enhanced data collection system for reporting, a process map, and implementation logic models for integrated patient-centered MOUD treatment and reporting. The F2C D4DS process allowed us to identify needs and benefits of greatest value for adopters, and informed MOUD expansion into areas with high OUD overdose risk across the state, to maximize patient outcomes.
