Implementation Scientist & Clinical-Community Psychologist
Three basic questions motivate my work
1
How do we improve the health and wellbeing of as many people as possible?
2
How do we ensure health research findings are used in practice?
3
How can health systems and communities continually learn and improve?
My Expertise
Dissemination and Implementation Science (D&I) bridges research and practice. The field's mission is to translate research findings from the health and social services literature into routine practice. D&I includes both research (e.g., what are the best methods to implement new programs?) and practice (e.g., supporting organizations to make a change). D&I builds upon the foundational research established by the fields of health promotion and prevention, health behavior change, public health and policy, change management, global health, complexity science, program evaluation, community-based participatory research, social psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and more.
My specialty is methodological and transdisciplinary, aiming to advance the science and practice of implementation and quality improvement.
