Examining peer learning as a strategy for advancing uptake of evidence-based practices
Background: Continued evolution of knowledge-to-action (KTA) theories requires increased attention to dynamics of power and ways to integrate multiple forms of knowledge. Peer learning – a process through which knowledge users interact with other learners – is a valuable but largely unexamined strategy for integrating practice-based knowledge in the KTA process. Aims and objectives: This study undertakes a scoping review to examine how peer-learn…
Waterloo Better Beginnings as a Transformative Prevention Project
Better Beginnings Waterloo (BBW) is an ecological, community-driven, prevention program for children aged 4-8 and their families. BBW was implemented in two low-income communities with high percentages of visible minorities. Data on Grade 1-2 children and their parents (the baseline comparison group) were gathered through parent interviews ( n = 34) and teacher reports ( n = 68) in 2015, prior to BBW programs, and in the period 2018-2019, the sam…
Understanding the role of networks in building capacity for systems change
Housing First is an evidence-based intervention designed to house individuals who are chronically homeless and are experiencing serious mental illness. The cross-sector collaboration required to provide person-centred supports to this population has resulted in increased understanding of Housing First as a whole systems response. Housing First implementation acts as a catalyst for systems change, yet research on how this change occurs is limited.…
Examining peer networking as a capacity‐building strategy for Housing First implementation
AIMS: This study examines peer networking as a capacity-building strategy for the implementation of Housing First (HF), a complex community intervention targeting chronic homelessness. METHODS: A qualitative, multiple case study was conducted to examine the capacity-building activities of two, multicommunity peer networks established by community leaders in the Canadian Homelessness sector. Data collection activities included document analysis, k…
Systems change in the context of an initiative to scale up Housing First in Canada
In this study, we examine changes in the homeless‐serving system in the context of a training and technical assistance initiative to scale up Housing First (HF) in 6 Canadian communities. Based on qualitative data from focus groups and individual interviews with key stakeholders (k = 7, n = 35) and field notes gathered over a 3‐year period (n = 146), we found 2 main system changes: (a) changes in the capacity of the service delivery system at mul…
Understanding Systems Change in Early Implementation of Housing First in Canadian Communities
We present interim findings of a cross‐site case study of an initiative to expand Housing First ( HF ) in Canada through training and technical assistance ( TTA ). HF is an evidence‐based practice designed to end chronic homelessness for consumers of mental health services. We draw upon concepts from implementation science and systems change theory to examine how early implementation occurs within a system. Case studies examining HF early impleme…
Navigating Complex Implementation Contexts
Highlights Housing First can be implemented beyond demonstration sites without new resources. Using an intentional implementation strategy communities implemented high‐fidelity programs. One key implementation challenge was accessing affordable housing and housing subsidies. By helping develop housing specialists and reflective practice, the TTA facilitated effective implementation
Better Beginnings, Better Futures
Better Beginnings, Better Futures is an early childhood initiative focused on promoting healthy development of children and families in economically disadvantaged communities. The Better Beginnings approach is ecological and holistic, community-driven, integrated with existing community services and supports, and universally available to children aged 4-8 within communities in which it is offered. The Better Beginnings initiative effectively illu…
