Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health: Translating Science to Practice
By Ross C. Brownson, Graham A. Colditz, Enola K. Proctor, David Chambers
The ultimate guide to dissemination and implementation research for public health, medicine, and the social sciencesIn the past twenty years, dissemination and implementation (D&I) research has sought to narrow the gap between the discovery of new knowledge and its application in public health, mental health, and health care settings. 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. Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health is the definitive roadmap to effecting change in health and science from today’s leading D&I researchers. With insights from around the globe, these scholars collectively address key issues in the field including how to evaluate evidence based on effective interventions, how to design an appropriate study, and how to track a set of essential outcomes. Their work has been updated in this third edition with a strong focus on health equity and new chapters on de-implementation, scale-up and sustainment, and training and capacity building. This new edition also focuses on barriers to uptake of evidence-based interventions in the communities where people live their lives and from the social service agencies, hospitals, and clinics where they receive care.Now in its third edition, Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health remains the quintessential guide to making research more consequential for researchers and practitioners in health and the social sciences.
Are you interested in bridging the gap between new knowledge and its application in public health, medicine, and the social sciences?

Authored by Ross C. Brownson, Graham A. Colditz, Enola K. Proctor, and David Chambers, this book provides comprehensive coverage of dissemination and implementation (D&I) research. Over the past two decades, D&I research has become increasingly important in the healthcare field, aiming to close the gap between discoveries and their practical application. With the challenges of moving research to practice and policy, collaborative partnerships and cross-country research are crucial for future progress. This book explores these challenges and provides practical strategies for researchers and practitioners.
This third edition has been updated to include a stronger focus on health equity, reflecting the growing recognition of the importance of addressing health disparities. It also features new chapters on de-implementation, scale-up and sustainment, and training and capacity building. By incorporating these crucial topics, the book offers a more comprehensive and up-to-date resource for anyone interested in D&I research.
One of the key aspects of this book is its emphasis on putting research into practice, with a particular focus on evaluating evidence-based interventions and designing appropriate studies. By prioritizing the application of research findings, the authors aim to make a tangible impact on public health and social sciences.
In addition to exploring the challenges and strategies of D&I research, the book also addresses barriers to the uptake of evidence-based interventions. It considers the social service agencies, hospitals, clinics, and communities where individuals receive care and highlights the importance of overcoming these barriers to ensure the widespread adoption of effective interventions.
With a strong foundation in evidence-based research and a focus on practical application, “Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health” provides researchers and practitioners with the tools they need to make their work more consequential. By applying the principles and strategies outlined in this book, individuals can make a real difference in improving health outcomes and shaping healthcare policy.
