I wouldn't have felt so alone”
There is much work needed to improve the breadth, quality, and relevance of school-based sexual health education. Sexual health education can improve by strengthening critical media literacy skills of youth; raising staff cultural competency on gender, race, and sexual identity through training and supports; using culturally relevant and inclusive curricula; and partnering with community-based organizations. Transgender and gender diverse youth w…
Sexual Behaviors, Referral to Sexual Health Services, and Use of Sexual Health Services Among Transgender High School Students
BACKGROUND: Transgender adolescents are at increased risk for negative sexual health outcomes compared to their cisgender peers. METHODS: Using data from 10,231 students from 7 high schools in a large, urban school district, our analysis compared sexual behaviors, referral to sexual health services by school staff, and use of sexual health services between transgender and cisgender students. We used propensity score matching to create a comparabl…

An evaluation of welfare and child welfare system integration on rates of child maltreatment in Colorado
A Research Synthesis of the Evaluation Capacity Building Literature
The continuously growing demand for program results has produced an increased need for evaluation capacity building (ECB). The Integrative ECB Model was developed to integrate concepts from existing ECB theory literature and to structure a synthesis of the empirical ECB literature. The study used a broad-based research synthesis method with systematic decision rules and demonstrates the viability of the method for producing a reliable analysis of…
Advances in Bridging Research and Practice
The need for new ways to bridge the gap between research and practice is clear; the use of evidence‐based prevention programs and implementation with fidelity in practice are strikingly limited. The Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF) was created to help bridge research and practice by specifying the systems and processes required to support dissemination and implementation of evidence‐based programs, processe…
Developing a Prevention Synthesis and Translation System to Promote Science‐Based Approaches to Teen Pregnancy, HIV and STI Prevention
The Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF) is a multi‐system framework that can guide research‐to‐practice efforts by building and supporting the work of three interacting systems: the Prevention Delivery, Support, and Synthesis and Translation Systems. The Synthesis and Translation system is vital to bridging science and practice, yet how to develop it and train support system partners to use it is under‐researc…

Promoting Science‐based Approaches to Teen Pregnancy Prevention
In the field of teen pregnancy prevention many efficacious prevention programs are available but adoption of these programs is slow at the community level. In this article, we present a multi‐site, capacity‐building effort called the Promoting Science‐based Approaches to Teen Pregnancy Prevention project (PSBA) as a case example of a proactive application of the Interactive System Framework (ISF) for dissemination and implementation. The ISF is a…
