The purpose of this longitudinal exploratory study was to examine the relationship between the organizational environment, the use of comprehensive programming processes, and the quality of programming. A theoretical framework was developed as a result of a review and synthesis of the community psychology and public health literature focusing on the role of organizational variables in the development of health and mental health projects. This framework served as the empirical model that was tested in this study. More specifically, the study investigated: (1) the influence of organizational functioning (e.g., leadership) and of process-specific organizational capacities (e.g., knowledge of the comprehensive planning process used) on the levels of use of programming steps or activities (e.g., conducting a needs assessment); (2) the role that using a comprehensive programming process played on the quality of programming (i.e., program planning, implementation/outcomes, and sustainability); and (3) the relative importance of organizational factors both within a given program development stage and across stages. Surveys, interview data, evaluation data, and other documents designed to assess organizational characteristics, extent of use of a comprehensive programming framework, and quality of planning, implementation/outcomes, and sustainability, were collected from 8 community boards and 31 programs responsible for providing prevention services as part of a statewide substance abuse initiative in Ohio. Correlational data as well as linear and ordinal regressions were used to test models of organizational context, framework use, and programming quality for each of the three program development stages, i.e., planning, implementation, and sustainability. Results indicated that leadership, shared vision, process champion, financial resources for programming, and process perceived knowledge played a role, albeit different, in both predicting framework use level and programming quality across program development stages. The relative importance and behavior of each of these variables was different depending on the framework step and programming quality indicator. Furthermore, while minimal, there was some evidence that extent of framework use influenced planning and implementation quality. Despite its limitations, this exploratory study provided preliminary support for the model tested, upon which a future program of research on organizational context, framework use, and programming quality can be built and further investigated.
