The complexity of research translation is well recognized. Efforts to accelerate the process have emerged through implementation science, scale-up, scalability, and sustainability. This area of research is now inundated with a plethora of new concepts, creating overlap and confusion for those working in public health, implementation science, and scale-up as well as those seeking to understand it. This perspective examines the commonly used proces…
Using the socioecological model to explore factors associated with obesity among reproductive age women
Introduction Women of reproductive age (18–44 years) are at an increased risk of developing obesity due to pregnancy, life-transitions, and marginalization. Obesity in women negatively affects women’s health and pregnancy outcomes and can increase risk their children will develop obesity. Less is known about obesity risk at the interpersonal and environmental levels for women of reproductive age. This study uses the socioecological model to explo…
Cluster randomized multilevel intervention for promoting physical activity in rural communities
Introduction: Rural areas of the United States have lower levels of physical activity (PA) as compared to their urban and suburban counterparts, leading to higher levels of chronic diseases. The objective of the study was to increase PA in rural communities via a multilevel intervention. Methods: We implemented a cluster randomized controlled trial of a community-based multilevel PA intervention between 2019 and 2022 in 14 rural communities. The …

Effectively communicating with local policymakers
Introduction: Evidence-based policies are a powerful tool for impacting health and addressing obesity. Effectively communicating evidence to policymakers is critical to ensure evidence is incorporated into policies. While all public health is local, limited knowledge exists regarding effective approaches for improving local policymakers' uptake of evidence-based policies. Methods: Local policymakers were randomized to view one of four versions of…
Social Determinants of Health Discussed with Mothers During Personal Visits Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Purpose: This report describes the social determinants of health (SDOH) discussed during personal visits at the time leading up to and during the first 4 months of the pandemic from families across the United States. Methods: This is a secondary analysis from a cluster randomized trial that embeds Healthy Eating and Active Living Taught at Home within Parents as Teachers (PAT). PAT is a national organization serving families prenatal through kind…
Assessing Racial and Ethnic Discrimination in Children
Objectives: To characterize the availability, content, and psychometric properties of self-reported measures that assess race/ethnicity-related discrimination or psychosocial stress and have potential relevance to studies of health disparities in children and adolescents. Design: Using PRISMA extension guidelines for scoping reviews, we searched Ovid Medline, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and Scopus databases from 1946 to April 20, 2020, using the search te…
Changing landscape of nutrition and dietetics research? A bibliographic analysis of top-tier published research in 1998 and 2018
Objective: The current study sought to describe and compare study type, research design and translation phase of published research in nutrition and dietetic journals in 1998 and 2018. Design: This was a repeat cross-sectional bibliographic analysis of Nutrition and Dietetics research. All eligible studies in the top eight Nutrition and Dietetics indexed journals in 1998 and 2018 were included. Two independent reviewers coded each study for resea…
A multilevel approach for promoting physical activity in rural communities
Clinical Trials NCT03683173 , September 25, 2018
Getting the Word Out
The gap between discovery of public health knowledge and application in practice settings and policy development is due in part to ineffective dissemination. This article describes (1) lessons related to dissemination from related disciplines (eg, communication, agriculture, social marketing, political science), (2) current practices among researchers, (3) key audience characteristics, (4) available tools for dissemination, and (5) measures of im…
A formative study to understand perspectives of families eligible for a pediatric obesity program
RW has the potential to improve health and promote wellness. To enhance the impact of this program, RW could incorporate these findings to promote feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness and improve program implementation. Strategies may include modifying the information provided or the mode of delivering the information
Development of a scalable weight loss intervention for low-income workers through adaptation of interactive obesity treatment approach (iOTA)
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02934113 ; Received: October 12, 2016; Updated: November 7, 2017
How to Identify Success Among Networks That Promote Active Living
Objectives. We evaluated organization- and network-level factors that influence organizations’ perceived success. This is important for managing interorganizational networks, which can mobilize communities to address complex health issues such as physical activity, and for achieving change. Methods. In 2011, we used structured interview and network survey data from 22 states in the United States to estimate multilevel random-intercept models to u…
