2022 Early Hearing Detection & Intervention Virtual Conference
March 13 - 15, 2022
Intervention Mapping as a Public Health Approach to Address Lost to Intervention
This presentation will cover a developing research program using intervention mapping. Intervention mapping is a public health protocol that guides program development to support community-centered, research-driven, and theory-based interventions. Intervention Mapping has been used to develop protocols on various topics, including preventative medicine, cardiovascular health, and cancer. In 2017, Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs in the United States identified 6,537 children with hearing levels outside of the typical range. These children should access support services, including family support, audiology, speech-pathology, sign language instruction, and more. While these children may be at risk for language deprivation if they do not have support in learning language, 34.5% do not enroll in early intervention services. The program that will be discussed has been developed in the intervention mapping tradition using a newly developed model of what leads to lost to intervention. This model was developed using the Delphi methods and stakeholder input from professionals, academics, advocates, and families of children who are D/deaf and hard of hearing.
- Participants will be able to describe the role of intervention mapping in public health program planning.
- Participants will be able to explain how stakeholder input is integrated into this program and intervention mapping as a whole.
- Participants will be provided with the opportunity to modify the presented program in conjunction with the primary presenter for implementation in the future.
