– WHY is problem occurring– Develop hypothesis for intervention
3. Intervention Planning & Implementation (PRIM)– Generate intervention strategies – WHO, WHAT , WHEN– Record intervention assignments and how to measure results
4. Monitoring & Evaluation– Establish short-term measurable goals– Set SST review date(s)– SST review and modify plan as needed – EARLY INITIAL REVIEW
