Meet C-DIAS’s First Cohort of Dissemination and Implementation Fellows!
The C-DIAS Fellowship in Addiction Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Science is designed for early or mid-career individuals who have a goal of using rigorous methods in D&I science to improve public access to high-quality addiction treatment. The 2023-2024 inaugural cohort consists of seven promising individuals whose research projects span a variety of topics including culturally-adapted substance use treatments, stigma-reduction, effectiveness of digital toolkits, and so much more!
Remarkably efficient approach to improving addiction services in primary and specialty care
This protocol paper describes a stagewise implementation-to-target (stepped “care” type) approach to implement MOUD whereby organizations engage in increasingly intensive implementation strategies as needed.
The slow rise of implementation science to address the US opioid epidemic
Written by members of the C-DIAS team, this paper assessed how implementation research has been used in the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) efforts to address the opioid and stimulant epidemics.
C-DIAS innovations in research methods presented at national conference in DC
C-DIAS presented two posters at the 15th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health. One poster studied participant engagement in implementation trials, and the other described a micro-costing approach to estimating the total cost to implement an evidence-based practice.
An examination of NIDA-funded implementation research on treatments for SUD
Written by members of the C-DIAS team, this paper assessed how implementation research has been used in the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) efforts to address the opioid and stimulant epidemics.
A study of a procedure to expand access to addiction medication
Though significant national campaigns have been launched to expand access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), research has yet to properly address the challenges of implementing and sustaining MOUD in specialty addiction programs. This protocol paper describes a stagewise implementation-to-target (stepped “care” type) approach to implement MOUD whereby organizations engage in increasingly intensive implementation strategies as needed.
