What Criteria Does Blueprints Use in Selecting Programs?

Blueprints considers four criteria:

  • Evaluation quality—Can we be confident in a program’s evaluation
  • Intervention impact—How much positive change in key developmental outcomes can be attributed to the intervention
  • Intervention specificity—Is the intervention focused, practical, and logical
  • Dissemination readiness—Does the program have the necessary support and information to be successfully implemented

Blueprints programs must meet all four criteria. See our Program Criteria page for a more detailed description.
