An adapted intervention research model: Suggestions for research and practice

Abstract

Two of the existing models for development and evaluation of interventions were discussed, namely the Developmental Research and Utilisation Model (DR&U) and the Intervention Research Model (JR). After detailed investigation and discussion of these two models, the authors of this article would like to suggest an Adapted Intervention Research Model (AIR) that can perhaps assist in making the task of prospective researchers easier by adding another model that can be utilised. The AIR model exists of seven phases, namely problem delimitation, methodology, analysis, development, evaluation, adaptation and dissemination. Each phase again consists of various steps.
