Barriers and Facilitators to Implementing an Evidence-Based Community Health Worker Model
These findings suggest growing recognition of the importance of CHWs to improving health equity and population health. Barriers identified point to important policy and practice implications for CHW programs more broadly, including the need for continued attention to improving clinical integration and the need for sustainable program financing to preserve the longevity of this workforce
A Qualitative Examination of Clinician Anxiety about Suicide Prevention and Its Impact on Clinical Practice
Population mental health science
A recent American Psychological Association Summit provided an urgent call to transform psychological science and practice away from a solely individual-level focus to become accountable for population-level impact on health and mental health. A population focus ensures the mental health of all children, adolescents, and adults and the elimination of inequities across groups. Science must guide three components of this transformation. First, effe…
The social determinants of resilience
The psychological study of resilience has increasingly underscored the need for children and families to access material and psychological resources to positively adapt to significant stress. Redistributive policies-policies that downwardly reallocate society's social and economic resources-can offer economically disadvantaged families sustained access to these resources and mitigate the harmful impacts of adversity. This conceptual article build…

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 11 youth and 13 adult members of 4‐H Shooting Sports clubs across nine US states from March to December of 2021 until thematic saturation was reached. Deductive and in…
Leveraging Stakeholder Engagement and Virtual Environments to Develop a Strategy for Implementation of Adolescent Depression Services Integrated Within Primary Care Clinics of Mozambique
Psychiatric disorders are the number one cause of disability in adolescents worldwide. Yet, in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where 90% of adolescents reside, mental health services are extremely limited, and the majority do not have access to treatment. Integration of mental health services within primary care of LMICs has been proposed as an efficient and sustainable way to close the adolescent mental health treatment gap. However, th…
Implementation mapping to plan for a hybrid trial testing the effectiveness and implementation of a behavioral intervention for HIV medication adherence and care retention
Background: Implementation mapping is a systematic, collaborative, and contextually-attentive method for developing implementation strategies. As an exemplar, we applied this method to strategy development for Managed Problem Solving Plus (MAPS+), an adapted evidence-based intervention for HIV medication adherence and care retention that will be delivered by community health workers and tested in an upcoming trial. Methods: In Step 1: Conduct Nee…
Medical stakeholder perspectives on implementing a computerized battery to identify neurocognitive impairments among youth in Botswana
exposure, common in Sub-Saharan Africa, are associated with pediatric neurocognitive impairment. Cognitive screening can identify impairments, but it is rarely used in this setting. The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (PennCNB), an evidence-based cognitive screening tool, was adapted for use in Botswana. To facilitate future implementation, 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted to elicit key stakeholders' perspectives on factors l…
The Need to Prioritize Patient-Centered Care in Inpatient Psychiatry as a Matter of Social Justice
This Viewpoint discusses the need for payers and regulators to measure and prioritize patient-centered care in inpatient psychiatry to align incentives, supports, and standards as a way to motivate facilities and support staff in implementing evidence-based care
Reducing the Scientific Bench to Judicial Bench Research‐to‐Practice Gap
As is the case in most fields, the research‐to‐practice gap in family law is wide. The field of implementation science has emerged to attenuate these research‐to‐practice gaps. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of implementation science because drawing from efforts to reduce research‐to‐practice gaps in health care and other related fields can help the family court ameliorate its own. The current article will present an overview …
Factors that predict child welfare caseworker referrals to an evidence-based parenting program
A Theory of Planned Behavior Exploration of Child Welfare Caseworker Referrals to an Evidence-Based Parenting Program
Despite the proliferation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for children and families, the majority of children and families do not receive EBPs in the child welfare (CW) system, despite their growing availability. One major driver of this lack of access may be caseworker referrals to EBPs given that children and families access services through their caseworker. In this study, we applied the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model and qualitativ…
Sociodemographic characteristics of youth in a trauma focused‐cognitive behavioral therapy effectiveness trial in the city of Philadelphia
While randomized controlled trials of trauma‐focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF‐CBT) have demonstrated efficacy for youth with posttraumatic stress disorder, TF‐CBT effectiveness trials typically show attenuated outcomes. This decrease in effectiveness may be due to the differences in sociodemographic characteristics of youth in these trials; youth in efficacy trials are more often white and middle‐income, whereas youth in effectiveness tri…
Clinical Supervision in Community Mental Health
Expanding the reach of psychological science through implementation science
Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of effective practices into routine care settings with the broad goal of ensuring that scientific discoveries realize their potential and improve people's lives. As a field, implementation science includes three primary foci: (a) understanding the context in which individuals will implement practices that have a strong, established evidence base; (b) developing implem…
Implementation Mapping
Background: The ultimate impact of a health innovation depends not only on its effectiveness but also on its reach in the population and the extent to which it is implemented with high levels of completeness and fidelity. Implementation science has emerged as the potential solution to the failure to translate evidence from research into effective practice and policy evident in many fields. Implementation scientists have developed many frameworks,…
Mixing Beyond Measure
During hospital handoffs, patient care and information are transferred between teams. Handoffs can expose patients to preventable harm related to lost information or misunderstandings between care teams. In the Handoffs and Transitions in Critical Care (HATRICC) project, we used a convergent mixed methods approach to design, implement, and evaluate a standardized process for handoffs between operating rooms and intensive care units. The value of …
Benchmarking Treatment Effectiveness of Community‐Delivered Trauma‐Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
It is critical for urban youth with post‐traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) living in poverty to have access to evidence‐based interventions for their traumatic stress. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of these interventions when provided in urban, community settings. The objectives of the current study are to (a) evaluate the effectiveness of trauma‐focused cognitive behavioral therapy delivered from 2013 to 2016 in 15 beh…

Community–academic partnerships in implementation research
Community–academic partnerships(CAPs) are a critical component of implementing and sustaining evidence‐based practices (EBPs) in community settings; however, the approaches used and mechanisms of change within CAPs have not been rigorously studied. The first step to advancing the science of CAP is to operationally define and contextualize the approaches used in CAP as part of the implementation process. Our research group has gleaned valuable les…
