title = "Developing effective prevention services for the real world: A prevention service development model",
abstract = "A Prevention Service Development Model (PSDM) is presented as an approach to develop prevention programs that are both effective and that are readily adopted for implementation in community settings. The model is an integration of concepts and methods from two fields, prevention research and marketing research as applied to new service development. Questions that are posed at each stage of the PSDM are described. Studies from the development of two preventive interventions are presented to illustrate research at several of the stages of the model.",

note = "Funding Information: Front-end planning involves the generation of the idea for the new service, developing an initial design of the service or intervention and assessing its feasibility (see Fig. 3). The first step in this phase is to consider how the new service fits into the organization{\textquoteright}s mission and strategy for growth and development. Our research on divorce and bereavement was conducted by our university-based prevention research center, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. The center{\textquoteright}s mission is to generate knowledge concerning new approaches for the prevention of mental health problems, and our organizational structure is well-designed to support this mission. The front-end planning activities proposed below are an expansion of these ongoing research activities and can be supported by this organizational structure. However, the center does not have the mission of actively promoting and managing the dissemination of its intervention. Thus, a new organizational structure is necessary to conduct these activities (Rotheram-Borus & Duan, 2003), which will be discussed in the implementation phase.",
