True/False

1. The six core processes of Intervention Mapping are used by the planning committee to improve their understanding of the health problem and guide decision-making.

2. Unsuccessful evidence-based programs often fail to deliver the expected results because of poor implementation rather than poor design.

3. Adoption performance objectives developed in Step 4 (program production) specify what an agency must do if it decides to integrate the program into its routines.

4. During program production in Step 4 of Intervention Mapping, pre-testing is used to try out the program methods and activities with a small group of representatives from the intended audience.

5. In Step 3 of Intervention Mapping, brainstorming is the core process used to identify theory and evidence-based methods upon which to base program activities.

6. Determinants of the performance objectives are factors that enable program participants to do what’s necessary to accomplish the behavioral outcomes.

7. In Intervention Mapping, development of a program theme is essential to program effectiveness.

8. The indicators and measures used for evaluation are derived from the matrices of change objectives developed in Step 2 of the Intervention Mapping process.
