Bringing It All Together: Modeling Intervention Processes Using Structural Equation Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combination of programmatic theory and structural equation modeling (SEM) can act as the basic intellectual machinery for designing and evaluating behavioral interventions. As an example of the integration, we consider a case study of a randomized experiment to reduce sexual risk taking, the WINGS Project. Barriers to combining systematic use of SEM with programmatic theory for program improvement and assessing program effectiveness are also discussed.
