How does the Pathways Clearinghouse obtain information about how an intervention was implemented?
The Pathways Clearinghouse identifies and reviews relevant studies, including impact, descriptive, and implementation studies, to collect details on how an intervention was implemented. We summarize information such as the amount of services received, the number of staff delivering services, and costs and benefits. For each intervention summary, we identify a key informant, who is usually the lead author on one or more of the studies. We share the draft implementation summary with the key informant to ensure accuracy and clarity.
