“…Various researchers have suggested that knowledge is often the biggest barrier to EBP dissemination (Barker 2004;Dearing 2009;Higa and Chorpita 2007;Sanders et al 2009;Seng et al 2006). Chorpita and Regan (2009) commented that the term ''dissemination'' can be defined as the delivery of knowledge and the management of attitudes and intentions to clinicians.…”

Research in the dissemination of evidence-based practices (EBPs) suggests that practitioners' knowledge of and attitudes towards EBPs influence their decisions to adopt such practices. This study investigated the relationships between practitioner background variables and EBP knowledge and attitudes, as well as the relationship between knowledge and attitudes among public sector youth direct service providers (n = 240). Findings suggest that knowledge and attitudes relate to practitioners' most advanced degree, practice setting, and licensure status. Additionally, lack of knowledge in the form of EBP under-identification was related to negative attitudes. Findings are discussed as they relate to the dissemination of EBPs.

“…Figure 1 displays the conceptual model of TCA. This framework utilizes concepts from urban studies [25][26][27] social movement theory [28][29][30] and diffusion of innovations theory [31][32][33][34]. It has been used to identify a variety of place characteristics that are likely to affect the extent to which a community carries out and sustains an action.…”

Background: Adequate access to effective treatment and medication assisted therapies for opioid dependence has led to improved antiretroviral therapy adherence and decreases in morbidity among people who inject drugs (PWID), and can also address a broad range of social and public health problems. However, even with the success of syringe service programs and opioid substitution programs in European countries (and others) the US remains historically low in terms of coverage and access with regard to these programs. This manuscript investigates predictors of historical change in drug treatment coverage for PWID in 90 US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) during 1993-2007, a period in which, overall coverage did not change. Methods: Drug treatment coverage was measured as the number of PWID in drug treatment, as calculated by treatment entry and census data, divided by numbers of PWID in each MSA. Variables suggested by the Theory of Community Action (i.e., need, resource availability, institutional opposition, organized support, and service symbiosis) were analyzed using mixed-effects multivariate models within dependent variables lagged in time to study predictors of later change in coverage. Results: Mean coverage was low in 1993 (6.7%; SD 3.7), and did not increase by 2007 (6.4%; SD 4.5). Multivariate results indicate that increases in baseline unemployment rate (β = 0.312; pseudo-p < 0.0002) predict significantly higher treatment coverage; baseline poverty rate (β = − 0.486; pseudo-p < 0.0001), and baseline size of public health and social work workforce (β = 0.425; pseudo-p < 0.0001) were predictors of later mean coverage levels, and baseline HIV prevalence among PWID predicted variation in treatment coverage trajectories over time (baseline HIV * Time: β = 0.039; pseudo-p < 0.001). Finally, increases in black/white poverty disparity from baseline predicted significantly higher treatment coverage in MSAs (β = 1.269; pseudo-p < 0.0001). Conclusions: While harm reduction programs have historically been contested and difficult to implement in many US communities, and despite efforts to increase treatment coverage for PWID, coverage has not increased. Contrary to our hypothesis, epidemiologic need, seems not to be associated with change in treatment coverage over time. Resource availability and institutional opposition are important predictors of change over time in coverage. These findings suggest that new ways have to be found to increase drug treatment coverage in spite of economic changes and belt-tightening policy changes that will make this difficult.

“…El incremento de las enfermedades crónicas en todo el mundo, especialmente las relacionadas con nutrición como diabetes, obesidad, cáncer y enfermedades cardiovasculares, reflejan las interacciones existentes entre ambiente, comportamientos personales y biología. En temas específicos referidos a la salud nutricional se ha aplicado la comunicación persuasiva, a través de intervenciones a medida en la internet [13][14][15] y de campañas de comunicación mediadas sobre cambios de comportamiento para la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares 16 , mientras que el modelo de difusión de innovaciones se ha empleado para fomentar el uso de vitaminas entre la población 17,18 . Por tanto, se reconoce cada vez más la importancia de la educación nutricional como eje esencial de la promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad.…”
