| Abstract: | Alzheimer's disease is a major public health issue, but dissemination and implementation of community-based education related to it can be a challenge in a state the size of Texas. Effective partnerships with entities that have statewide reach, such as Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, can be an effective strategy for dissemination and implementation. However, understanding what motivates program prioritization by professionals at the local level is key to a successful partnership. Using a discrete choice experiment, this study explores the type and structure of incentives that motivate County Extension Agents – Family & Community Health to participate in implementation of a three-part Alzheimer's disease educational series. Results show that Extension personnel value incentives, preferring a shorter implementation timeline and funds that do not expire. We use the Knowledge-to-Action framework to help inform organizational decision-making related to the project at hand and to structure future opportunities to serve as a mechanism for dissemination and implementation. This study provides key insights into motivation and prioritization for county-based professionals when implementing age- and health-related educational interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
