This is a reformulation of the Multi-level interventions Group. Greater emphasis will be given to examining ecological influences and interventions, identifying assessment measurement that capture this level of analysis.

Mission Statement:

The mission of this group is to assess naturally occurring or planned environmental influences that may be:

Part of the intervention
Consequences of the intervention (spread of effect);
Or confounders or facilitators to the intervention as they affect either behavioral maintenance or program sustainability
