Evidence-based prevention and wellbeing programs offer a great deal of promise to support the health and wellbeing of North Carolina children, youth, families, and communities. In fact, many funders and service providers in North Carolina are shifting towards models that have demonstrated positive impact through rigorous evaluations. However, implementing and scaling up these innovations can be a challenge in the context of business as usual. Despite best intentions, long standing, complex service systems have a tendency to pull innovation back to past practice. This challenge can prevent evidence-based strategies from achieving expected outcomes, including in North Carolina. The North Carolina Implementation Capacity for Triple P (NCIC-TP) project aims to develop methods, materials, and opportunities to support North Carolina counties to successfully and sustainably scale the Triple P -- Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) system of interventions so that population-level benefits are realized for local children, families, and communities. To address typical challenges related to implementation and scale-up, NCIC-TP leverages: (1) Current research and best practices from implementation science, (2) Mixed-methods evaluation findings from the North Carolina Triple P Implementation Evaluation (TPIE), and (3) Partnerships with statewide stakeholders involved in scaling-up the Triple P system.
