Equitable Patient and Public Involvement Strategies for Scaling Health and Social Care Interventions
How is health equity considered in scale-up guidance? A scoping review of process models for scaling public health innovations
Scale-up guidance is valuable to guiding efforts to increase the reach and impact of public health innovations. Health equity, that is, ‘the absence of systematic disparities in health between groups’ is often a motivator for scale-up though it is unclear how ‘equity’ is considered within existing scale-up guidance. This scoping review aimed to identify the equity considerations articulated within existing scale-up models. Five databases and grey…
Reverse translating parkrun’s scale-up success
Introduction: The scale-up evaluation field has been limited by a conceptualisation of success dominated by quantitative spread and restriction to purposively and centrally disseminated initiatives. Empirical research shows, however, that working definitions of scale-up success are far more varied, nuanced, and context-dependent. Moreover, excluding examination of organically scaling initiatives has narrowed what may be learnt about sustainable d…
We Want parkrun to Well Outlive Us
parkrun is a free, weekly organized mass participation physical activity event providing a remarkable example of at-scale dissemination, with over 1 million participants and 150,000 volunteers in Australia. This qualitative study draws on stakeholders' experiences to explore how parkrun succeeded with its dissemination and sustainability in Australia. Maximum variation and snowball sampling methods were used to select interviewees representing th…
Strategies for involving patients and the public in scaling initiatives in health and social services
Factors associated with experiencing stigma, discrimination, and negative health care treatment among people who inject drugs
Results highlight important intersections and disparities in stigmatising experiences among people who inject drugs. Considering these intersections can assist health services provide more inclusive care
Development and Application of the Scale-Up Reflection Guide (SRG)
Scaling up effective interventions in public health is complex and comprehensive, and published accounts of the scale-up process are scarce. Key aspects of the scale-up experience need to be more comprehensively captured. This study describes the development of a guide for reflecting on and documenting the scale-up of public health interventions, to increase the depth of practice-based information of scaling up. Reviews of relevant scale-up frame…
Primary school mobile dental program in New South Wales, Australia
The use of EDRs for oral health services evaluation research is a relatively new approach, and the evaluation works within the limitations and strengths of utilising administrative datasets. The study will also provide avenues to improve the quality of data collected and system-level improvements to better enable future services to be aligned with disease prevalence and population needs
Tensions and Paradoxes of Scaling Up
Achieving system-level, sustainable 'scale-up' of interventions is the epitome of successful translation of evidence-based approaches in population health. In physical activity promotion, few evidence-based interventions reach implementation at scale or become embedded within systems for sustainable health impact. This is despite the vast published literature describing efficacy studies of small-scale physical activity interventions. Research int…
You need a designated officer” – Recommendations from correctional and justice health personnel for scaling up hepatitis C treatment-as-prevention in the prison setting
Declining prevalence of current HCV infection and increased treatment uptake among people who inject drugs
The Weight of Words
Co-production partnerships between policymakers, practitioners, and researchers are designed to facilitate production of relevant and readily usable research in health policy and practice contexts. We describe methodological strategies for in-depth collaborative analysis based on a co-produced ethnography of health promotion practice, involving ethnographic researchers and government-based research partners. We draw on a co-production dialogue to…
Can an electronic monitoring system capture implementation of health promotion programs? A focussed ethnographic exploration of the story behind program monitoring data
While monitoring systems cannot and should not capture every aspect of implementation, better accounting for aspects of context and "extra" work involved in program implementation could help illuminate why implementation succeeds or fails. Failure to do so may result in policy makers drawing false conclusions about what is required to achieve implementation targets. Practitioners, as experts of context, are well placed to assist policy makers to …
Weight change among repeat participants of an Aboriginal community-based weight loss program
While individuals benefit from weight loss through program participation, strengthening strategies for weight loss maintenance within or following the program could improve long-term weight outcomes and reduce weight cycling
Mock abstracts with mock findings
Background: A number of ways to conduct research are designed to maximise the likelihood that evidence from research is quickly transferred into practice. This includes action research and partnership research between researchers and policy makers. Such approaches focus research effort on questions of highest relevance to practice and policy so as to create ownership of the results. However, such approaches on their own do not necessarily visuali…
The impact of telephone follow up on adverse events for Aboriginal people with chronic disease in new South Wales, Australia
Receipt of 48 Hour Follow Up was associated with both a reduction in emergency department presentations and at least one adverse event within 28 days of discharge, suggesting there may be merit in providing post-discharge telephone follow up to Aboriginal people with chronic disease
The impact of a community-led program promoting weight loss and healthy living in Aboriginal communities
The Challenge was effective in reducing weight and promoting healthy lifestyles among Aboriginal people across New South Wales, and has potential to contribute to closing the health gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people
The SPIRIT Action Framework
The recent proliferation of strategies designed to increase the use of research in health policy (knowledge exchange) demands better application of contemporary conceptual understandings of how research shapes policy. Predictive models, or action frameworks, are needed to organise existing knowledge and enable a more systematic approach to the selection and testing of intervention strategies. Useful action frameworks need to meet four criteria: h…
'Translational formative evaluation'
The process of generating evidence-based public health interventions is understood to include steps that define the issue, generate and test solutions in controlled settings, replicate and then disseminate more widely. However, to date models have not considered the types and scale of formative evaluation tasks that are needed to up-scale interventions, from efficacy to population-wide dissemination in the real world. In this paper, we propose th…
Developing definitions for a knowledge exchange intervention in health policy and program agencies
The development of definitions is an integral part of the research process but is often poorly described. This paper details the iterative development of five definitions: Policy, Health policy-maker, Health policy agency, Policy documents, and Research findings. We describe the challenges of developing definitions in a large multidisciplinary team and the important methodological repercussions. We identify four factors that were most helpful in …
The concept of scalability
Increased focus on prevention presents health promoters with new opportunities and challenges. In this context, the study of factors influencing policy-maker decisions to scale up health promotion interventions from small projects or controlled trials to wider state, national or international roll-out is increasingly important. This study aimed to: (i) examine the perspectives of senior researchers and policy-makers regarding concepts of 'scaling…

Effectiveness of a multi-strategy intervention in increasing the implementation of vegetable and fruit breaks by Australian primary schools
The findings suggest that a multi-strategy intervention can significantly increase the implementation of vegetable and fruit breaks by a large number of Australian primary schools
The Sydney Diabetes Prevention Program
This translational study will ascertain the reach, feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a lifestyle modification program delivered in a community setting through primary health care. If demonstrated to be effective, it will result in recommendations for policy change and practical methods for a wider community program for preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes in high risk people
Parental influences on child physical activity and screen viewing time
Parental barriers are associated with the time that children spend in both active and sedentary pursuits. These findings highlight family, economic and environmental factors that should be addressed in programs to promote child physical activity and tackle sedentary behaviour
