  • Designing Meaningful Engagement for Older Adults

    Open AccessSusanna Nordin, Aaron Davis et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2026

    BACKGROUND: Co-design is increasingly used to involve older adults in the development of digital tools, yet less attention has been given to how to engage them effectively in these processes. Older adults represent a highly diverse population, but co-design practices often overlook this heterogeneity and rely on limited representation. Similarly, co-design approaches vary widely in structure and degree of user involvement. While evaluations often…

  • The pitfalls of scaling up evidence-based interventions in health

    Open AccessHervé Tchala Vignon Zomahoun, Ali Ben Charif et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Policy-makers worldwide are increasingly interested in scaling up evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to larger populations, and implementation scientists are developing frameworks and methodologies for achieving this. But scaling-up does not always produce the desired results. Why not? We aimed to enhance awareness of the various pitfalls to be anticipated when planning scale-up. In lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the scale-up of hea…
