Implementation science is commonly defined as the study of methods and strategies to promote the uptake of interventions that have proven effective in routine practice, with the aim of improving population health. Often interventions tested in traditional research studies that are found to be effective do not translate into positive outcomes in practice or cannot be practically applied. Alternatively, other interventions that have potential to improve care will not the effectively implemented without practical tools to aid the implementation. Integrating research into practice is a major challenge, both during the period of a study and beyond. This class provides an introduction to what is often referred to as translational, dissemination, or implementation research, as well as the broad field of Implementation Science. Students will learn about the significance and major initiatives associated with moving research into practice and will be introduced to conceptual and analytic tools (e.g., theories, frameworks) to support their emerging work in this area.
