Abstract
The recent research agenda set forth by Scheirer and Dearing (2011) on program sustainability may serve as an important step toward clarifying
conceptualizations of the lasting effects of public health interventions. A concern arises, however, in defining sustainability as “continued use of
program components and activities for the continued achievement of desirable program and population outcomes.” (p2060) Linking continued
activities with ongoing intended outcomes may direct attention and resources away from exploring the full range of enduring program effects.
