创建以证据为基础的项目的目标是在足够广泛的范围内扩大规模，以支持在关键结果方面改善人口水平。然而，这一承诺很难实现。该领域最大的问题之一是，当一个项目被规模化时，所看到的效应大小会减少。本文从经济学的角度探讨了研究过程中导致问题规模扩大和提供潜在解决方案以加强规模成果的潜在激励因素。开放科学的原则与这个目标是一致的。一个已经开始在美国推广的预防项目是儿童早期家访。虽然有大量关于家访的影响研究，但总体平均效应大小为。最近的一项全国随机试验发现，在现实世界条件下实施的计划的效应大小有所减弱。本文最后以一个案例研究，探讨了经济模式与开放科学在发展和扩大循证家访中的相关性。该案例研究考虑了测试干预措施的传统方法如何影响家访的发展，以及开放科学实践如何支持在扩大家访的同时保持影响的努力。最后，它考虑了开放科学如何通过加速将研究转化为政策和实践来加速家访干预措施的改进和扩大。
The goal of creating evidence-based programs is to scale them at sufficient breadth to support population-level improvements in critical outcomes. However, this promise is challenging to fulfill. One of the biggest issues for the field is the reduction in effect sizes seen when a program is taken to scale. This paper discusses an economic perspective that identifies the underlying incentives in the research process that lead to scale up problems and to deliver potential solutions to strengthen outcomes at scale. The principles of open science are well aligned with this goal. One prevention program that has begun to scale across the USA is early childhood home visiting. While there is substantial impact research on home visiting, overall average effect size is .10 and a recent national randomized trial found attenuated effect sizes in programs implemented under real-world conditions. The paper concludes with a case study of the relevance of the economic model and open science in developing and scaling evidence-based home visiting. The case study considers how the traditional approach for testing interventions has influenced home visiting’s evolution to date and how open science practices could have supported efforts to maintain impacts while scaling home visiting. It concludes by considering how open science can accelerate the refinement and scaling of home visiting interventions going forward, through accelerated translation of research into policy and practice.
