Final Flashcards
Implementation Science
Study of factors that influence the full and effective use of innovations in practice.
Goal is not to answer factual questions about what is, but to determine what is required.
Dissemination
Purposeful distribution of information and intervention materials to a specific public health or clinical practice audience.
Intent is to spread information and the associated evidence-based interventions.
Efficacy vs Effectiveness
Efficacy: expected results under ideal circumstances
Effectiveness: degree of beneficial effect in real world clinical settings
Define CBPR
Community-Based Participatory Research
Balancing research with community needs
Why CBPR?
- -traditional research fails to solve complex health disparities
- -community members demand research address their identified needs (no more guinea pigs)
- -community involvement can lead to scientifically sound research
- -research findings can be directly applied to community-specific interventions
- -built greater trust and respect between researchers and communities
CBPR Principles
- -community is unit of identity
- -builds on strengths/resources of community
- -facilitate collaborate partnerships
- -integrate knowledge/action for mutual benefit
- -promote co-learning and empowering process to attend to social inequalities
- -cyclical and iterative process
- -address health from positive and ecological perspectives
- -disseminate findings to all partners
Organizational Climate
Personality of the organization defined as prevailing attitudes and beliefs, type of leadership, communication, role clarity, process for conflict resolution
Perceptions about organization that vary across levels
Organizational Culture
Assumptions, values, norms, behaviors, and artifacts (symbols) that define an organization.
Basic assumptions about the organization that transcend across levels of organization.
Organizational Capacity
Degree to which the organization is functioning and the resources available to support organizational change
Inter-Organizational Relations Theory
- -collaborative efforts across different organizations
- -“whole greater than sum of parts”
- -early work focused on benefits from collaboration (efficiency, innovation, expansion)
- -partnerships not always effective, can reduce efficiency when overlap resources
- -similarity in culture/climate may lead to better outcomes, as well as some interdependence
3 Types of Inter-Organizational Models
- Exchange or obligational network
- Action or promotional network
- Systematic network
Exchange or Obligational Network
- -type of IOR
- -loose collaboration
- -engage in few collaborative activities
- -coordinated by select representatives across organizations
Action or Promotional Network
- -type of IOR
- -focus on pooling resources across organizations
- -target accomplishing an activity that is 2ndary to mission of each organization
Systematic Network
- -type of IOR
- -more formal partnership across organizations
- -target accomplishing activities that are primary to organization’s mission
Community Coalition Action Theory
- -formal organization partnerships to focus on addressing specific issue over long-term
- -extension of community building to organizations
- -identifying issues comes from organization members and process is sensitive to culture and focused on developing ownership of issue
- -stage model: forming partnership –> institutionalizing it
- -guide process outcomes and health outcomes
Functionally illiterate
Can only perform very basic tasks (23%)
Marginal literacy skills
Unable to read above 8th grade level (28%)
Proficient literacy
9th grade and above
13% of adults
Knowledge Gap Hypothesis
Differences in knowledge about a PH problem across SES groups
Media-based interventions may increase gap d/t lower access to information
Agenda Setting Theory
Media influences public opinion and the issues for which there should be opinions
- -public agenda setting
- -policy agenda setting
- -media agenda setting
Framing
Steps of Intervention Mapping
- Needs assessment
- Outcome matrices and performance objectives
- Theory-based intervention methods and practical applications
- Program
- Adoption and implementation plan
- Evaluation plan
RE-AIM Framework
R: reach - % and representativeness of population
E: effectiveness - +/- effects
A: adoption - % and representativeness of setting/staff that provide program
I: implementation - consistency/cost of providing program, scope of modifications
M: maintenance - long-term effects for participants, sustainability for setting
Strengths of RE-AIM
- comprehensive framework utilizing studies
- -assesses impact value
- -assess fidelity, mediators, moderators
- -assess barriers to success
- -website resources and tools
Weaknesses of RE-AIM
- -are all components needed?
- -time intervals for assessing are arbitrary
- -adoption/implementation built in even if intervention ineffective
- -no consensus on adequate reach, adoption, implementation
Strengths of Diffusion of Innovation Theory
- -framework to guide eval of efforts to overcome research-practice gap
- -facilitates broad implementation of effective tx to enhance reach
- -considers individual, innovation, contextual factors
Weaknesses of Diffusion of Innovation Theory
- -Pro-Innovation Bias: that any innovation should be adopted
- -Individual blame bias
- -no research on: relative influence of different variables; authority figures; mediators and moderators
- -no consistency in defining key measures
- -feasibility and cost challenging as RCT
define Diffusion of Innovation Theory
the degree to which efficacious programs (or interventions or policies) are integrated within a system or community
diffusion vs dissemination
diffusion: ways in which policy or program is integrated within a population or system (passive)
dissemination: ways in which a policy is made accessible to greatest number of people (active)
staged process of Diffusion of Innovation
Knowledge Persuasion Decision Implementation Confirmation
3 Determinants of Diffusion
