[There is no Need to Reinvent the Wheel - Requirements for a Successful Project Transfer].
Although the transfer of an existing project can be a resource-efficient form of implementation of successful interventions, project transfers are rarely carried out in practice. The aim of this article is to pool the experience of 3 projects about the transfer of their prevention approaches to other municipalities and regions, as well as to make recommendations for future trans-regional transfer processes in the field of disease prevention and health promotion. To achieve this, documentation sheets were used and interviews were conducted with team members of the transfer projects. The results show that the ability to adapt intervention to context is an essential condition of successful implementation. In addition, there has to be a need for the intervention in the transfer region and a benefit to the participant organizations as well as to the team members. Furthermore, constructive and personal communication and cooperation between the participants of the original and the transferred project are required for successful transfer.
