What is "Dissemination and Implementation"?
Implementation science is the study of methods that influence the integration of evidence-based interventions into practice settings. Dissemination is the process of spreading knowledge and information to these settings.
Why is the study of dissemination and implementation important?
To inform the design of evidence-based interventions that can be successfully applied in real-world settings, improving health.
It takes an average of 17 years for 14% of research to translate into practice. People may thus experience a significant delay in, or never be offered, interventions that have been proven to improve health.
Increasing the number of interventions that translate into practice can have a direct and positive impact on the public’s health by increasing access to approaches that have been demonstrated to improve health in diverse populations.
