Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health by Ross C Brownson
The definitive work in D&I research -- now completely updated and expanded The application of scientific research to the creation of evidence-based policies is a science unto itself -- and one that is never easy. Dissemination and implementation research (D&I) is the study of how scientific advances can be implemented into everyday life, and understanding how it works has never been more important for students and professionals across the scientific, academic, and governmental communities. Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health is a practical guide to making research more consequential, a collection assembled and written by today's leading D&I researchers. Readers of this book are taught to: · Evaluate the evidence base in an effective intervention · Choose a strategy that produces the greatest impact · Design an appropriate and effectual study · Track essential outcomes · Account for the barriers to uptake in communities, social service agencies, and health care facilities The challenges to moving research into practice are universal, and they're complicated by the current landscape's reliance on partnerships and multi-center research. In this light, Dissemination and Implementation Resarch in Health is nothing less than a roadmap to effecting change in the sciences. It will have broad utility to researchers and practitioners in epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral science, economics, medicine, social work, psychology, and anthropology -- both today and in our slightly better future.
This encyclopedic volume covers D&I research from numerous perspectives and disciplinesIts strength is a broad multidisciplinary coverage across a social sciences, epidemiology, research methods, public health, and health services research. It provides an excellent introduction, overview, and in-depth discussion of why research translation and dissemination are important and critical elements in research, and in health services and public health practices for the 21st century. * Adrian Bauman, PhD, MPH, Sesquicentenary Professor of Public Health, University of Sydney School of Public Health *
This book is just in time, but you will be sorry that you didn't have it years ago. Reading it will inform and transform your idea of what is needed to generate health research that can make a difference. These editors and authors have filled a huge gap in the resources available to understand and teach about dissemination and implementation research in an era where the importance of this type of translational research is gaining support and prominence. The book will be useful to those are already engaged in D&I research, those who are not sure just what D&I research is or why we need it, and everyone in between. * Shiriki Kumanyika, PhD, MPH, Professor of Epidemiology and Associate Dean for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine *
Few books will fill as great a need as this one. Effective dissemination and implementation should be magic bullets that increase the speed with which discoveries become practice and improve health. This book should be required reading for people from diverse fields who are committed to shorten the time between discovery and widespread practice. * Barbara K. Rimer, DrPH, MPH, Dean and Alumni Distinguished Professor, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health *
This book is the first of its kind! I have been searching for a book like this since we received our clinical and translational science award to help explain translational science, why it is necessary, and how it is accomplished. The editors have compiled it in an easy-to-understand way. * DOODY'S *
