This study compares prevention program registries in current use on their level of support for users seeking to implement evidence-based programs. Despite the importance of registries as intermediaries between researchers and the public, and although previous studies have examined how registries define their standards for methodological soundness and evidence of efficacy, little research has focused on the degree to which registries consider programs’ dissemination readiness. The result is that registry users are uncertain whether listed programs and their necessary support materials are even available for implementation. This study evaluates 11 publicly and privately funded prevention registries that review the evidence base of programs seeking to improve child health and prosocial outcomes on the degree to which they use dissemination readiness as an evidentiary criterion for rating programs, and the extent and type of information they provide about dissemination readiness to support real-world implementation. The results show wide variability, with few having standards about dissemination readiness or making evidence-based information about interventions easily accessible to users. Findings indicate the need for registries to (1) do more to assess dissemination readiness before including programs on their website and (2) offer more complete information on dissemination readiness and implementation support to users.

本研究比较了当前使用的预防计划登记处对寻求实施循证计划的用户的支持水平。尽管注册管理机构作为研究人员和公众之间的中介很重要，尽管之前的研究已经研究了注册管理机构如何定义其方法健全性和有效性证据的标准，但很少有研究关注注册管理机构考虑计划传播准备的程度. 结果是注册管理机构用户不确定列出的计划及其必要的支持材料是否可用于实施。本研究评估了 11 个公共和私人资助的预防登记处，这些登记处审查了旨在改善儿童健康和亲社会结果的计划的证据基础，这些计划将传播准备作为评估计划的证据标准的程度，以及他们提供的信息的范围和类型。提供传播准备以支持现实世界的实施。结果显示出很大的差异，很少有关于传播准备或使用户容易获得有关干预措施的循证信息的标准。
