If we keep on doing what have been doing, are going to getting getting. Concerns about the gap between science and practice longstanding. There is a need for new approaches supplement existing of research models evolving community-centered bridging this gap. In article, present Interactive Systems Framework Dissemination Implementation (ISF) that uses aspects models. The framework presents three systems: Prevention Synthesis Translation System (which distills information innovations...

Capacity is a complex construct that lacks definitional clarity. Little has been done to define capacity, explicate components of or explore the development capacity in prevention. This article represents an attempt operationalize and distinguish among types levels as they relate dissemination implementation through use taxonomy capacity. The was informed by literature from two divergent models field: research-to-practice (RTP) community-centered (CC) models. While these differ perspective...

The continuously growing demand for program results has produced an increased need evaluation capacity building (ECB). Integrative ECB Model was developed to integrate concepts from existing theory literature and structure a synthesis of the empirical literature. study used broad-based research method with systematic decision rules demonstrates viability producing reliable analysis disparate data variety designs. There high degree consistency in what reported theoretical terms strategies...

Abstract In the field of teen pregnancy prevention many efficacious programs are available but adoption these is slow at community level. this article, we present a multi‐site, capacity‐building effort called Promoting Science‐based Approaches to Teen Pregnancy Prevention project (PSBA) as case example proactive application Interactive System Framework (ISF) for dissemination and implementation. The ISF multi‐system model leading implementation science‐based programming through work three...

This article illustrates ideas for bridging science and practice generated during the Division of Violence Prevention's (DVP) dissemination/implementation planning process. The difficulty moving what is known about works into broader use near universal, this process pushed us to look beyond common explanations (e.g., providers were resistant/unwilling change practice) think multiple layers systems involved. As part process, Interactive Systems Framework Dissemination Implementation (ISF) was...

There is a well-known gap between science and practice. To address this in the areas of Child Maltreatment (CM) Youth Violence (Y/V), Division Prevention (DVP) at Centers for Disease Control (CDC) embarked on Dissemination/Implementation (D/I) planning project. The project was aimed identifying better ways to connect research practice through reviews literature as well discussions with experts violence prevention utilization. This introductory article sets stage rest special issue by...

Abstract Although youth mentoring programs are widespread, it is clear that there a great need to increase their quality and quantity. This article provides background on funding initiatives in mentoring, the role of community organizing advocacy influencing demand for programs. A model examines community's coordinating key stakeholder groups planning, implementing, sustaining proposed. The more effective examined second model, which relates capacity organizations, staff, training technical...

Getting To Outcomes (GTO), an innovative framework for planning, implementing, evaluating, and sustaining interventions has been shown to be effective in helping community-based organizations (CBOs) introduce science-based approaches into their prevention work. However, the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) suggests that adopting innovations like GTO requires a significant amount of capacity building through training technical assistance (T/TA). In this study, 11 CBOs three schools South...

The purpose of this study was to assess community attitudes toward school-based abstinence-plus sexuality education. A dual sampling approach landlines and cell phones resulted in 988 adults from two counties completing South Carolina Survey Public Opinion on Pregnancy Prevention. Among respondents, 87.1% supported education, most them agreed that various topics (abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases/HIV/AIDS, contraception) should be taught grades 6 through 8. Few supporters believed...

Commissioning and monitoring of community-based interventions is a challenge due to the complex nature environment lack any explicit cut-offs guide decision making. At what point, for example, participant enrolment interventions, course completion or satisfaction deemed be acceptable sufficient continued funding? We aimed identify quantify key progression criteria fourteen early years by (1) agreeing top three successful implementation progress; (2) boundaries categorise as 'meeting...

All youth are at risk for adolescent pregnancy, yet some more than others. Although and protective factors paradigms certainly not new to the field, this research takes a multilevel ecological approach seeks specify relative merit of individual-level compared social environment explaining sexual behavior. This explores nuanced similarities differences between who abstain from sex, those sexually active report using contraception, no contraceptive use. Multivariate logistic regression...

The purpose of this study was to assess parents’ and teens’ views on talking about sex birth control their level comfort in discussing these topics. methodology consisted telephone surveys with 988 adults person interviews 797 teens within two counties South Carolina. This found that more teen females than males communicated or mothers were most likely be sought out. Over half the indicated they had talked another adult out an friend. Most parents agreed talk openly waiting have as well...

In England, several recent campylobacter outbreaks have been associated with poultry liver consumption. Following a lunch event in hotel Surrey November 2013 where chicken parfait was served, guests reported having gastrointestinal symptoms. A retrospective cohort study showed 46 of 138 became unwell, median incubation period two days and for 11 cases infection laboratory confirmed. Food item analysis identified an association between illness consumption roast turkey (aOR=3.02 p=0.041) or...
