Practical Implementation Science is designed for graduate health
professional and advanced undergraduate students who want to master
the steps of using implementation science to improve public health.
Engaging and accessible, this textbook demonstrates how to
implement evidence-based practices effectively through use of
relevant theories, frameworks, models, tools, and research
findings. Additional real-world case studies across public health,
global health, and health policy provide essential context to the
major issues facing implementation domestically and globally with
consideration of communities in low-to-middle-income countries
(LMIC).The textbook is organized around the steps involved in
planning, executing, and evaluating implementation efforts to
improve health outcomes in communities. Coverage spans assessing
the knowledge-practice gap; selecting an evidence-based practice
(EBP) to reduce the gap; assessing EBP fit and adapting the EBP;
assessing barriers and facilitators of implementation; engaging
stakeholders; creating an implementation structure; implementing
the EBP; and evaluating the EBP effort. Each chapter includes a
"how to" approach to conducting the task at hand. The text also
addresses the practical importance of implementation science
through disseminating EBPs; scaling up EBPs; sustaining EBPs; and
de-implementing practices that are no longer effective. All
chapters include learning objectives and summaries with emphasized
Key Points for Practice, Common Pitfalls in Practice, and
discussion questions to direct learning and classroom discussion.
Fit for students of public health, health policy, nursing,
medicine, mental health, behavioral health, allied health, and
social work, Practical Implementation Science seeks to bridge the
gap from scientific evidence to effective practice. Key Features:

This book captures the evolution of consumerism in the human
services. By addressing the changing roles and contributions of
consumers (those working within human service organizations and
systems and those working outside of those organizations and
systems) the author offers an encompassing framework of
consumerism. This framework is multidimensional and incorporates
multiple types and forms of consumerism. The author offers a
rationale for consumerism in the human services, illustrates its
evolution, and considers multiple perspectives and models
culminating in policy considerations, including specific
strategies. This book will equip consumers, survivors,
practitioners, and policy makers with substantive knowledge of how
to advance human services through action and innovation.
