This toolkit is designed to help practitioners assess fit between the specific implementation requirements of an EBI and population needs, organizational capacity, and community conditions.
The Feasibility Toolkit offers one approach for carrying out a feasibility assessment. The tool provides checklists for six areas to be considered as part of this process: Resources, Target Population, Organizational Climate, Community Climate, Evaluability and Future Sustainability.” For example, under Organizational Climate, the following elements are scored: willingness to accept a new prevention program, its fit with existing prevention efforts, the buy-in of key leaders, the buy-in of staff, and a favorable history with similar efforts (e.g., critical incidents, previous program success).
