This book aims to explain why funding levels for breast cancer research suddenly achieved extensive media coverage, as well as both attention and action from Congress and the White House, in the period between 1990 and 1993.

As devolution of responsibilities from higher-level governments to lower-level governments & nonprofits continues, more & more attention will be focused on implementation, specifically on how to convince reluctant partners to participate fully in program success. In spite of a considerable body of research on implementation, few systematic efforts have been made to examine the predictors of successful compliance. This article provides such an effort, examining five possible predictors to implementation of primary care mandates in seven states. Among key factors in successful implementation of these mandates were legislative funding targeted to the program & proactive leadership within the medical schools. Monitoring & oversight were in place in only one state where implementation was judged to have been most successful. Re-wording of the legislative mandate & communication -- often touted as important elements of successful implementation -- were not important in these seven states. 1 Exhibit, 33 References.
