Adapting Public Health and Health Services Interventions in Diverse, Real-World Settings: Documentation and Iterative Guidance of Adaptations
Authorship: Borsika A. Rabin, et. al.
Conclusion: This review has provided an overview of the literature and a synthesis of best practices to systematically document and analyze adaptations across the phases of a program and common scenarios for the documentation adaptations.
Designing for Dissemination and Sustainability to Promote Equitable Impacts on Health
Authorship: Bethany Kwan, et. al.
Designing for dissemination and sustainability (D4DS) refers to principles and methods for enhancing the fit between a health program, policy, or practice and the context in which it is intended to be adopted. In this article we first summarize the historical context of D4DS and justify the need to shift traditional health research and dissemination practices. D4DS design processes include stakeholder engagement, participatory co-design, and context and situation analysis, and leverage methods and frameworks from dissemination and implementation science, marketing and business, communications and visual arts, and systems science.
Applying an equity lens to assess context and implementation in public health and health services research and practice using the PRISM Framework
Authorship: Meredith Fort, et. al.
We present guidance for applying PRISM with an equity lens across its four context domains (external environment; multi-level perspectives on the intervention; characteristics of implementers and intended audience; and the implementation and sustainability infrastructure – as well as the five RE-AIM outcome dimensions - and present an example with health equity considerations.
Using Implementation Mapping to develop protocols supporting the implementation of a state policy on screening children for Adverse Childhood Experiences in a system of health centers in inland Southern California
Authorship: Mónica Pérez Jolles, et. al.
In this paper, we describe how Implementation Mapping was used to engage diverse stakeholders and guide them through a systematic process that resulted in the development of the implementation strategy. We also detail how the EPIS framework informed each Implementation Mapping Task and provide recommendations for developing implementation strategies using EPIS and Implementation Mapping in health-care settings.
