@smharden Specifying implementation strategies to enhance reviewer comprehension of your work 2019 Dissemination & Implementation Science Grant Development Workshop: Understanding, specifying, and applying implementation strategies Samantha M. Harden, Ph. D, Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise, Virginia Tech Omaha, NE August 2019 1

“The general practitioner in the surgery, the nurse manager on the ward, and the policy maker in the boardroom would be forgiven for losing track of all the new technologies, care pathways, and service models that could potentially improve the quality, safety, or efficiency of care. Yet we know that innovations rarely achieve widespread uptake even when there is robust evidence of their benefits (and especially when such evidence is absent or contested). 1” Greenhalgh BMJ 2019; 365: l 2068 doi: 10. 1136/bmj. l 2068 (Published 10 May 2019) 2

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES Assess for readiness and identify barriers and facilitators Build a coalition Capture and share local knowledge Conduct local needs assessment Create a learning collaborative Develop academic partnerships Inform local opinion leaders Identify and prepare champions Use advisory boards and workgroups Use train-the-trainer strategies Tailor strategies 9

Then a miracle occurs Good work, but I think we might need just a little more detail right here.

Specifically…. • The intervention/practice/innovation is THE THING • Effectiveness research looks at whether THE THING works • D&I research looks at how best to help people/places DO THE THING • Implementation strategies are the stuff we do to try to help people/places DO THE THING • Main implementation outcomes are HOW WELL they DO THE THING KCI Masterclass. Curran et al

Example • Lifelong Improvements through Fitness Together is an 8 -week communitybased physical activity and healthful eating intervention for older adults • Effectiveness research looks at whether THE THING works, which is primarily measured 1) attendance and 2) pre, post and 6 month functional fitness assessments • D&I research looks at how best to help people/places DO THE THING • Implementation strategies are the stuff we do to try to help people/places DO THE THING • Dynamic training • Zoom “office hours” with program manager (ongoing support) • Learning collaborative, early adopters, identify and prepare champions • Main implementation outcomes are HOW WELL they DO THE THING • Weekly process evaluations (self report fidelity check) • Adoption rates • In vivo fidelity checks ($$)

Your work • The intervention/practice/innovation is THE THING • Effectiveness research looks at whether THE THING works • D&I research looks at how best to help people/places DO THE THING • Implementation strategies are the stuff we do to try to help people/places DO THE THING • Main implementation outcomes are HOW WELL they DO THE THING KCI Masterclass.

Implementation research: Evidence & Scientific Premise • Evidence (for intervention) • • RCTs linking intervention to outcome Practice guidelines Pilot studies Models and theories • Evidence (for implementation strategy) • • • Impact for other interventions Pilot studies Theoretical framework From Ed Ellerbeck 2018 Keynote
