Fifteen to twenty years is how long it takes for the billions of dollars of university-based research to translate into evidence-based policies and programs suitable for public use. Over the past decade, an exciting science has emerged that seeks to narrow the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and its application in public health, mental health, and health care settings. Dissemination and implementation (D&I) research seeks to understand how to best apply scientific advances in the real world, by focusing on pushing the evidence-based knowledge base out into routine use.

To help propel this crucial field forward, leading D&I scholars and researchers have collaborated to put together this volume to address a number of key issues, including: how to evaluate the evidence base on effective interventions; which strategies will produce the greatest impact; how to design an appropriate study; and how to track a set of essential outcomes. D&I studies must also take into account the barriers to uptake of evidence-based interventions in the communities where people live their lives and the social service agencies, hospitals, and clinics where they receive care.

The challenges of moving research to practice and policy are universal, and future progress calls for collaborative partnerships and cross-country research. The fundamental tenet of D&I research-taking what we know about improving health and putting it into practice-must be the highest priority. This book is nothing less than a roadmap that will have broad appeal to researchers and practitioners in epidemiology, biostatistics, behavioral science, economics, medicine, social work, psychology, and anthropology.

Program Development in the 21st Century: An Evidence-Based Approach to Design, Implementation, and EvaluationI now use this as my course textbook for implementation research courses. It strikes the right balance between overview and detail in each of the chapters and for each shows future directions for the mostly masters and PHDs I teach this subject to.

Limitations are in a US-centric coverage and less interest in qualitative and case study, as well as in ignoring evidence based quality improvement collaborative approaches (eg the ground-breaking work of the VA research centres in LA).

Unlike many textbooks this shows the latest knowledge and thinking - I read it after the 2012 NIH dissemination and implementation conference and all the issues and items addressed there were reflected in this book.

Implementation research has the potential to be a disruptive research approach which establishes effective implementation of proven and promising interventions as creating more value for healthcare than spending resources on the development of new interventions. This and the Palinkas book on the subject set the agenda.

But wheres the kindle version! Students in Sweden don't like going back to carrying last century heavy books like this!
