| Course Description | While we have made tremendous scientific progress in public health and medicine, there is a large gap between research and practice. It takes 15 to 20 years for scientific knowledge and discoveries to translate into evidence-based policies and programs that impact widespread population health. An emerging science seeks to eliminate this gap and facilitate the successful dissemination, implementation and sustainability of evidence-based practices. This course will introduce students to the field of Dissemination and Implementation research and science, to prepare them as practitioners and researchers on how to apply scientific advances in 'real world' settings. Through readings, discussion, lectures, and application, students will learn how to: explain the terminology of this field and the contribution this field makes to public health; examine the evidence base of effective interventions and policies; explain the theoretical and historical foundations of the field; critique and design research studies for the purpose of dissemination and implementation; and evaluate the critical factors influencing dissemination, implementation and sustainability in public health, community, healthcare, and social service settings. Students will be required to write two brief writing assignments, lead a journal club, present a poster presentation, and write a final paper that allows them develop a dissemination, implementation and sustainability plan for an existing program or policy. |
