“…The third section of this special collection on promoting men’s health equity features five articles that describe evaluations of interventions to improve men’s health. Moving beyond the narrow confines of impact or outcome evaluation, these articles seem to be building on the growing research in dissemination and implementation science ( Koh et al, 2018 ). Dissemination and implementation science is critical for the advancement of men’s health equity as it systematically considers not only preliminary efficacy or even fully powered trial effectiveness; this scholarly area seeks to determine what aspects of interventions with some level of proven efficacy and effectiveness should be disseminated and implemented in new settings and contexts ( Koh et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Moving beyond the narrow confines of impact or outcome evaluation, these articles seem to be building on the growing research in dissemination and implementation science ( Koh et al, 2018 ). Dissemination and implementation science is critical for the advancement of men’s health equity as it systematically considers not only preliminary efficacy or even fully powered trial effectiveness; this scholarly area seeks to determine what aspects of interventions with some level of proven efficacy and effectiveness should be disseminated and implemented in new settings and contexts ( Koh et al, 2018 ). By considering the congruence between the intervention, stakeholders, population, and contextual resources, dissemination and implementation science offers steps for identifying the functions and mechanisms that underlie why key intervention components are expected to work, based on theory and concepts ( Koh et al, 2018 ).…”

“…In this aspect of the special collection on promoting men’s health equity, Valera et al highlight the importance of considering the institutional context of correctional facilitates and how that intersects with the identities and experiences of incarcerated men and transgender females. The unique stressors, strains, and coping strategies that these populations brought with them into the correctional facilities that Valera and colleagues identify represent an important example of the context assessment and intervention selection that is part of dissemination and implementation research ( Koh et al, 2018 ). Rhodes and colleagues describe the evaluation of the dissemination and adaptation of HoMBReS to three new organizational and community settings.…”

“…Rhodes and colleagues describe the evaluation of the dissemination and adaptation of HoMBReS to three new organizational and community settings. This mixed methods evaluation (and that of Torres and colleagues, Watkins and colleagues, and Bowleg and colleagues) highlights a way to capture the heterogeneity among real-world settings in which well-established interventions may be implemented to successfully marry fidelity to the core components of the intervention with the culture and context of the setting ( Koh et al, 2018 ). Torres and colleagues describe what they learned in implementing a brief alcohol use intervention among Latino immigrant men that illustrated the importance of focusing not just on what content was delivered but the dose and mode of delivery.…”

Men’s health equity is an area of men’s health research and practice that combines the literature on men’s health with that of health equity. More research is needed that describes how to intervene to promote men’s health equity. This introduction to the American Journal of Men’s Health special collection on promoting men’s health equity was created to feature research that describes aspects of promising interventions that (a) are population-specific approaches that consider the unique biopsychosocial factors that affect the health of socially defined populations of men; or (b) use a comparative approach to close or eliminate gaps between socially defined groups of men and women and among socially meaningful groups of men that are unnecessary, avoidable, considered unfair and unjust, and yet are modifiable. The dozen papers from across the globe included in the special collection are grouped in three areas: conceptual approaches and reviews; formative research; and evaluation findings. The papers represent a diverse array of populations under the umbrella of men’s health and a range of strategies to improve men’s health from tobacco cessation to microfinance. The collection features a range of alternative masculinities that emerge from original research by the contributors that are used in novel ways in the interventions. This editorial argues that more qualitative research is needed to evaluate the intended and unintended findings from interventions. This editorial also highlights the benefits that men’s health equity can gain from embracing dissemination and implementation science as a tool to systematically design, implement, refine, and sustain interventions.

“…The need to build capacity for HPSR in low-and middle-income countries has been underscored as this encompasses the processes of decision-making at all levels of the health system [6][7][8]. This activity falls within the realm of implementation science, which is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine health care and public health settings [9][10][11]. As both policy makers and communities increasingly demand better returns on investments in health, proper application of HPSR principles on policy making has the potential to enable health system interventions to achieve better value for money.…”

Impact of capacity building interventions on individual and organizational competency for HPSR in endemic disease control in Nigeria: a qualitative study

et al. 2020

Background: The need to build capacity for health policy and systems research (HPSR) in low-and middle-income countries has been underscored as this encompasses the processes of decision-making at all levels of the health system. This implementation research project was undertaken in Southeast Nigeria to evaluate whether the capacity-building intervention improves the capacity to produce and use research evidence for decision making in endemic disease control. Methods: Three training workshops were organized for purposively selected participants comprising "producers of evidence" such as health research scientists in three universities and "users of evidence" such as policy makers, program managers, and implementers in the public health sector. Participants also held step-down workshops in their organizations. The last workshop was used to facilitate the formation of knowledge networks comprising of both producers and users, which is a critical step for getting research into policy and practice (GRIPP). Three months after the workshops, a subset, 40, of workshop participants was selected for in-depth interviews. Information was collected on (i) perceptions of usefulness of capacity-building workshops, (ii) progress with proposed research and research uptake activities, (iii) effects of these activities on evidence-informed decision making, and (iv) constraints and enablers to implementation of proposed activities.

Implementation science in pediatric oncology: A narrative review and future directions

Implementation science (IS) has garnered attention within oncology, and most prior IS work has focused on adult, not pediatric, oncology. This narrative review broadly characterizes IS for pediatric oncology. It includes studies through 2020 using the following search terms in PubMed, Ovid Medline, and Cochrane: “implementation science,” “pediatric,” “childhood,” “cancer,” and “oncology.” Systematic review was not performed due to the limited number of heterogeneous studies. Of 216 articles initially reviewed, nine were selected as specific to IS and pediatric oncology. All nine examined oncologic supportive care, cancer prevention, or cancer control. The supportive care focus is potentially due to the presence of cooperative study groups such as the Children's Oncology Group, which efficiently drive cancer‐directed therapy changes through clinical trials. Future IS within pediatric oncology should embrace this ecosystem and focus on cancer control interventions that benefit patients across multiple cancer types and patients treated outside cooperative group studies.
