Measures for Predictors of Innovation Adoption

Adm Policy Ment Health. 2015 Sep;42(5):545-73. doi: 10.1007/s10488-014-0551-7.

Abstract

Building on a narrative synthesis of adoption theories by Wisdom et al. (2013), this review identifies 118 measures associated with the 27 adoption predictors in the synthesis. The distribution of measures is uneven across the predictors and predictors vary in modifiability. Multiple dimensions and definitions of predictors further complicate measurement efforts. For state policymakers and researchers, more effective and integrated measurement can advance the adoption of complex innovations such as evidence-based practices.
