Which RE-AIM dimension focuses on whether a program is accepted and used by settings or organizations?

• A. Reach
• B. Adoption
• C. Implementation
• D. Maintenance

Answer: (B)

Adoption focuses on whether settings or organizations decide to take up and actually use the program. It looks at organizational acceptance and initial uptake—the decision by a clinic, school, or community group to start delivering the program. This differs from Reach, which measures how many individuals from the target population participate; Implementation, which assesses how faithfully the program is delivered in practice; and Maintenance, which examines whether the program continues to be used over time.
