​
What is dissemination science?
Dissemination science refers to evidence based methods for promoting the distribution of an innovation or intervention to a specific audience.
​
What is implementation science?
Implementation science is the study of methods and strategies that facilitate the uptake of evidence-based interventions into regular and sustained use at scale. Implementation Science seeks to systematically close the gap between what we know and what we do.
​
Aims of implementation science:
-
Develop, test and refine relevant theories, conceptual frameworks, and measures to advance research and practice in improving implementation
-
Develop and test effective strategies for implementing evidence-based practices to improve health-related processes & outcomes.
-
Produce generalizable knowledge on barriers and facilitators of implementation, and how implementation strategies work in various contexts and settings.
