TL;DR
A radical departure from the way large scale interventions are typically conceptualised is proposed, which could liberate interventions to be responsive to local context and potentially more effective while still allowing meaningful evaluation in controlled designs.
Abstract
Complex interventions are more than the sum of their parts, and interventions need to be better theorised to reflect this

The article concludes that the four key challenges to the evaluation of health promotion are 1) using research evidence more systematically while planning activities 2) improving the definition and measurement of outcome 3) adopting an appropriate evaluation intensity and 4) adopting a appropriate evaluation design.

235 Citations1998Joseph A. Durlak
Research conducted on preventive field trials indicates that program implementation is variable across change agents and settings and is sometimes seriously compromised, and that the level of implementation influences outcomes.

The debate between the "fidelity camp" and the "reinvention camp" is discussed and an approach that reconciles the two positions is suggested: fidelity should be maintained to the program's mechanism of operation; reinvention is permitted in implementation if the causal mechanism is preserved.

The failure of the largest and best conducted studies to detect an effect on prevalence of smoking is disappointing, and designers of future programmes will need to take account of this limited effect in determining the scale of projects and the resources devoted to them.
