Time commitments required of staff are somewhat clear and the educational level required of staff is not clear.
Concerns noted by some reviewers: - Large number of staff required for implementation - Lack of clarity regarding staff educational requirements - Cost of extra items not included in the core budget
Key factors for successful implementation (one or more reviewers): Culturally competent facilitators Well-trained facilitators who could make the intervention fun Access to African-American men
Potential Barriers/Pitfalls (one or more reviewers): The need to develop video clips Challenges with recruitment of male participants Facilitators with inadequate skills Time and commitment required of facilitators Problems with client retention
Resources Training is available through CDC as of January 2011, and technical assistance (TA) is available through UT Southwestern. Potential pitfalls: - Lack of access to the target population. - Failure to recruit clients. - Availability of skilled facilitators. - Training is not immediately available but pending.
Review Outcome Implementation is recommended by all reviewers, one of whom recommends implementation under favorable conditions. Reviewers (n=6)
