The ultimate guide to dissemination and implementation research for
public health, medicine, and the social sciences In 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 how to track
a set of essential outcomes. Their work has been updated in this
third edition with a strong focus on health equity and new chapters
on de-implementation, scale-up and sustainment, and training and
capacity building. This new edition also focuses on barriers to
uptake of evidence-based interventions in the communities where
people live their lives and from the social service agencies,
hospitals, and clinics where they receive care. Now in its third
edition, Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
remains the quintessential guide to making research more
consequential for researchers and practitioners in health and the
social sciences.
The acclaimed textbook for navigating the practice and challenges
of public health, now updated and completely revised "It should be
recommended or assigned to all students in public health."
-American Journal of Epidemiology The practice of public health
would be easier if all the decisions could just be based on
science. The reality, of course, is that many choices have to
account for short-term demands, meaning that some policies and
programs are rooted in anecdotal evidence or limited resources. In
these circumstances, an evidence-based approach - emphasizing
available data and analytics while leveraging individual skills and
an optimized organizational climate - is a public health
practitioner's best tool for effective decision making. This fully
revised and updated edition Evidence-Based Public Health offers an
essential primer on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate
evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It
addresses not only how to locate and utilize scientific evidence,
but also how to implement and evaluate interventions in a way that
generates new evidence. Practical topics covered in this light
include: * conducting community assessment * developing an initial
statement of issue (and quantifying it) * using scientific
literature and systematic reviews * creating an action plan and
implementing interventions * evaluating programs and policies An
indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers
in the public health sciences and preventive medicine, this newly
updated edition of the classic textbook empowers readers to
identify and apply the most compelling evidence available.
The greatest public health victories of the last century - public
sanitation, vehicle safety measures, limits on smoking and tobacco
use - have all been facilitated by public policies. While policy is
an unparalleled tool for effecting change in public health, most
professionals are unprepared to plan, apply, or study policy in a
consequential way. Prevention, Policy, and Public Health provides a
basic foundation for students, professionals, and researchers to be
more effective in the policy arena. It offers information on the
dynamics of the policymaking process, theoretical frameworks,
analysis, and policy applications. It also offers tools for
advocacy and communication, two integral aspects of shaping
policies for public health. Organized around the leading risk
factors for premature death and supplemented with illustrative case
study examples, this book will help professionals and researchers
understand the dimensions of policy, which can in turn inform the
conduct of research and evaluation. These skills, combined with an
understanding of opportunities and limitations within governments,
can be highly applicable to designing effective policies and
programs. With current pressures to implement broad and sustainable
public health improvements, policies are more important than ever
for anyone in the study and practice of public health. This book
can be considered a primer to truly understanding the connection
between prevention, policy, and public health.
This text focuses on areas of public health practice in which the
systematic application of epidemiologic methods can have a large
and positive impact. It describes how best to apply traditional
epidemiologic methods for determining disease etiology to
"real-life" problems in public health and health services research.
Brownson and Petitti's much-needed book bridges the gap between
theoretical epidemiology and public health practice, and covers a
number of topics not addressed by other epidemiology texts with a
focus on methods. This second edition contains a new chapter on the
development and use of systematic reviews and one on epidemiology
and the law. Each chapter includes one or more case studies
intended to illustrate major points from the chapter and to provide
a basis for teaching exercises. All of the chapters are authored by
leading experts in the fields of epidemiology and public health,
and all are fully revised and updated.
The book is intended for practitioners in epidemiology as well as
for students in epidemiology and related disciplines that rely on
epidemiologic methods and reasoning. It is a practical and
informative book for use in academic institutions, federal agencies
which have significant educational missions, state and local public
health agencies, and health care organizations. By providing a
resource of immense accessibility to several key audiences, this
edition of Applied Epidemiology: Theory to Practice further extends
the fields ability to make a real difference on behalf of better
health for all.
