11th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health

11th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) in Health is organized by AcademyHealth and will be held from Dec 03 - 05, 2018 at Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America.

Conference Description:
The Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health (D&I), co-hosted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and AcademyHealth, helps realize the full potential of evidence to optimize health and health care by bridging the gap between research, practice, and policy. By outlining the priorities in the still emerging field of D&I Science, this conference aims to ensure that evidence is used to inform decisions that will improve the health of individuals and communities.

The intent of this research is to investigate and address social, behavioral, economic, and organizational factors and policies that impede effective dissemination and implementation of evidence-based clinical, public health, and organizational findings, test new approaches to improve health programming, and determine causal relationships between the strategies to implement interventions and the impacts of their use. Dissemination and Implementation Science is also characterized by a focus on variations in dissemination and implementation processes (e.g., how evidence/interventions are integrated) and how the context (e.g., setting, population, and economic drivers) leads to heterogeneity of results.

Thus, the conference seeks novel research or conceptual papers that address any of the topics included within the thematic tracks, with an emphasis on empirical findings for how best to integrate evidence-based interventions within clinical and community settings and/or how to recast the nature or conduct of the research itself to make it more relevant and actionable in those settings.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
