Implementation and User-Centered Design in Outpatient Care: A Case-Study with Pediatric Asthma and Digital Health
Kristin Kan, MD, MPH, MSc | May 14, 2024 : Of the 5.5 million US children with pediatric asthma, over half have uncontrolled symptoms due in part to poor asthma self-management, leading to high rates of acute unscheduled care and activity limitations. Guideline-based, preventive asthma care is a critical step in reducing uncontrolled symptoms among…
Read MorePragmatic Implementation Science Guides and Measures to Enhance the Impact of Your Research
Helene Chokron Garneau, PhD, MPH; Bryan Garner, PhD; Heather Gotham, PhD; Beth McGinty, PhD; Terrinieka Powell, PhD | May 7, 2024 : Implementation science focuses on how to get effective interventions into practice; however, there is a lack of feasible, pragmatic tools that intervention researchers or those curious about implementation science can use to increase…
Read MoreFrom single to multiple behaviour change approaches in implementation science
Justin Presseau, PhD | April 2, 2024 : Behaviour change theory-informed implementation intervention development and evaluation often focuses on improving sub-optimally performed clinical practice, redressing variations in care, or de-implementing lower-value care. In many instances, such approaches focus on a given clinical action as the target for change. However, the professional context of those delivering…

Katherine Watkins, MD, MSHS | March 12, 2024: Untreated co-occurring opioid use disorders and mental illness are prevalent and can have devastating consequences for the individual, their families, and the community. The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) improves outcomes by addressing problems in access and quality for primary care patients with common behavioral health conditions but…
Read MoreIt Takes a Village: Implementing a Pragmatic Trial to Evaluate a Group Telehealth Intervention for Family Members Affected by Opioid Use Disorder
Karen Osilla, PhD | February 27, 2024: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. This presentation describes eINSPIRE (INtegrating Support Persons Into REcovery), a pragmatic randomized trial that tests the Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Training (CRAFT) intervention delivered via group telehealth therapy compared to usual care. CRAFT is an…
Read MoreEight Characteristics of Rigorous Multilevel Implementation Research: A Step-by-Step Guide
Gregory Aarons, PhD | February 20, 2024: Although healthcare is delivered in inherently multilevel contexts, implementation science has no widely endorsed methodological standards defining the characteristics of rigorous, multilevel implementation research. Presenters will identify and describe eight characteristics of high-quality, multilevel implementation research to encourage discussion, spur debate, and guide decision-making around study design and…
Read MoreFour Ways to Conceptualize and Study Policy in Implementation Science Research
Jonathan Purtle, DrPH, MSc | February 13, 2024: This presentation will offer a typology of four ways to conceptualize policy in implementation science research: 1) Policy as something to adopt, 2) Policy as something to implement, 3) Policy as context to understand, and 4) Policy as strategy to use. Examples will be provided of studies…
Read MoreDesigning for Dissemination and Sustainability: Methods, Frameworks, Tools, and a Diabetes Case Example
Bethany M. Kwan, PhD, MSPH, FSBM | January 30, 2024: Designing for dissemination and sustainability (D4DS) refers to the process of ensuring that the products of research are likely to be adopted, implemented, and sustained in the context of intended use. D4DS involves use of methods such as participatory co-design, active dissemination planning, and pragmatic…
