Which task is NOT part of the implementation phase of the SPF?

The implementation phase of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) focuses on putting developed strategies into action. This phase encompasses various tasks necessary for executing prevention programs effectively.

Monitoring outcome evaluations, although vital for assessing the effectiveness of a program, is typically associated with the evaluation phase, which occurs after implementation. The evaluation phase is designed to analyze the impact and success of the implemented strategies, determining whether they achieved the desired outcomes based on predefined metrics. In this context, monitoring outcomes serves to inform adjustments or improvements in future iterations of the program, rather than being an activity conducted during the implementation itself.

In contrast, delivering programs and practices, balancing fidelity with planned adaptations, and establishing implementation supports are all crucial elements within the implementation phase. These tasks ensure that the program is executed as intended while allowing some flexibility to adapt to specific contexts, ultimately promoting fidelity to the core components of the intervention while still addressing local needs.
