Description
Book SynopsisThe ultimate guide to dissemination and implementation research for public health, medicine, and the social sciencesIn the past twenty years, dissemination and implementation (D&I) research has sought to narrow the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and its application in public health, mental health, and health care settings. The challenges of moving research to practice and policy are universal, and future progress calls for collaborative partnerships and cross-country research. The fundamental tenet of D&I research-taking what we know about improving health and putting it into practice-must be the highest priority. Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health is the definitive roadmap to effecting change in health and science from today''s leading D&I researchers. With insights from around the globe, these scholars collectively address key issues in the field including how to evaluate evidence based on effective interventions, how to design an appropriate study, and h
Trade ReviewThe third edition of Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health is comprehensive, relevant, insightful, and practical. It addresses one of the greatest challenges across health and many other fields—the persistent gap between evidence and its implementation to benefit people and the planet. This new edition builds upon the outstanding foundation of earlier editions, with an even stronger focus on equity and global settings. It is a must-read book. * Barbara K.

This third edition arrives at the right time for scholars and all others committed to implementing effective strategies into health practice and policy. The coronavirus pandemic has challenged us to rethink our assumptions about how quickly care can change, while also revealing the scope and impact of longstanding inequities in health care. With some of the top global scholars in dissemination and implementation research, this book guides readers through each component of robust implementation research practices for modern day care. It should be required reading for all those who seek to achieve a learning healthcare system and evidence informed health policy. * Lisa Simpson, MB, BCh, MPH, FAAP, President and Chief Executive Officer, AcademyHealth *
