Dr. Geoffrey Curran’s presentation addresses the topic of hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies, a set of approaches to simultaneously studying the effectiveness of health interventions and the strategies to implement them in community and clinical practice settings. His presentation unpacks the rationale for these designs, a typology of designs based on the state of science for a given intervention, and provides examples of studies utilizing these important methods.
This archive provides a collection of webinars on methodology. The topics include HIV prevention, implementation methods, personalized medicine, complexity, and longitudinal data. In 2017, the Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) provided co-funding to the Center for Prevention Implementation Methodology to help create this archive.
A collection of training modules that came out of the NIH's initiative to enhance rigor and reproducibility in the research endeavor. The modules were developed by the NIH or NIH-funded grantees and focus on a variety of topics, including integrating sex into research, the design and analysis of group-randomized trials, and computational analyses.
During this webinar, Dr. Niven provides an overview of work on de-implementation while Dr. Norton provides cancer specific examples and insights. The session includes approximately 25 minutes of comments from the speaker and 35 minutes for engaged discussion and Q&A with the audience.
This one-day workshop explores challenges and strategies for design and analysis of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (PCT) that are conducted within health care systems.
This webinar outlines successes, motivators, and challenges faced by early-stage investigators in the field. In response to audience feedback, the speakers touch on issues in implementation science, such as training, career development, and working with an active D&I funding portfolio with a focus on early and mid-career researchers.
The objective of this FAES Graduate School is to provide a deeper understanding of epidemiologic research methodology that can be used to interpret critically the results of epidemiologic research. This understanding is the result of investigating conceptual models for study designs, disease frequency, measures of association and impact, imprecision, bias, and effect modification. The course emphasizes the interpretation of research, even when the design or execution of the respective research is less than ideal.
A collection of online chapters that provide an introduction to selected behavioral and social science research approaches, including theory development and testing, survey methods, measurement, and study design. eSource was developed in 2010, and these chapters have not been updated to reflect advances in the past decade. However, they can still be used as supplementary teaching materials.
In this introductory FAES Graduate School class, students learn the foundations of health economics and econometric modeling and apply them to the evaluation of biomedical research and public health programs.
On May 23, 2019, NCCOR hosted a Connect & Explore webinar to discuss the findings in a recent publication from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service called “Linking USDA Nutrition Databases to IRI Household-Based and Store-Based Scanner Data.” USDA researchers created a purchase-to-plate “crosswalk”—linking USDA data and household retail scanner data—to measure the overall healthfulness of American’s food-at-home (FAH) purchases. Results show that improvements in the healthfulness of Americans’ FAH purchases are needed to comply with federal dietary guidance. The speaker is Andrea Carlson, PhD, MS,an economist in the Food Markets Branch of the Food Economics Division.
During this webinar, Drs. Proctor and Brownson discuss characteristics of high-impact implementation science as well as efforts to build capacity of the field through D&I research training. They present their take on the potential of the field, current limitations, and how efforts to build capacity can lead to the next set of advances.
In his webinar, Dr. Powell describes the development and refinement of a compilation of implementation strategies, emphasizes the importance of carefully specifying and reporting implementation strategies to ensure replicability, and discusses ongoing work focusing on the development of more effective ways of tailoring implementation strategies to specific contexts.
In his Methods: Mind the Gap presentation, Dr. Robert Califf discusses the role and value of clinical trials in medical research given the rapid evolution of the science of clinical trials.
These modules are designed to complement the Measures Registry and Measures Registry User Guides and assist researchers and practitioners with choosing the best measures across the four domains of the Measures Registry: individual diet, food environment, individual physical activity and physical activity environment.
The objective of this FAES Graduate School course is to learn the concepts and methodology used in the design and conduct of randomized clinical trials. Topics to be covered will include description of the main types of trial designs, principles of randomization and stratification, issues in protocol development (defining objectives and endpoints, blinding, choice of control), recruitment and retention, data collection and quality control issues, monitoring, and analyses of trials reports.
This week-long immersion program provides 30 selected investigators with a thorough introduction to selected mHealth methodologies that may be used to study behavioral and social dimensions of public health. Participants work with expert mentors to create their own inter-disciplinary mobile health projects.
The mHealth training institute is funded via the NIH BD2K Program. The NIH BD2K Program is funded by all the NIH Institutes and Centers and receives support from the NIH Common Fund and the NIH Office of Behavioral Health and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR).
In this webinar, Dr. Larry Palinkas introduces the use of mixed method designs in research on three interrelated facets of evidence-based practices implementation: provider social networks, use of research evidence, and cultural exchange between researchers and practitioners. Dr. Palinkas explains the multiple strategies through which qualitative and quantitative research methods can converge, specifically highlighting their use within three funded research studies of implementation.
The NINDS Clinical Trials Methodology Course (CTMC) is an intensive, engaging program designed to help junior investigators develop scientifically rigorous, yet practical clinical trial protocols, and to focus on early consideration of funding mechanisms as a key trial planning activity.
In collaboration with other academic institutions, professional organizations, and funding agencies, the Implementation Science team coordinates and supports several training and educational activities, including a monthly webinar series, training programs, and an annual conference.
In this presentation, Dr. Gortmaker presents the latest findings from the Childhood Obesity Intervention Cost-Effectiveness Study (CHOICES) project. CHOICES is a collaborative modeling effort designed to evaluate the effectiveness, costs, and reach of interventions to reduce childhood obesity in the United States.
