BACKGROUND Services to treat tobacco dependence are not readily available to smokers in low-middle income countries (LMICs) where smoking prevalence remains high. We are conducting a cluster randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of two strategies for implementing tobacco use treatment guidelines in 26 community health centers (CHCs) in Viet Nam. Guided by the Consolidated Fram...

Abstract Background Qualitative approaches, alone or in mixed methods, are prominent within implementation science. However, traditional qualitative approaches resource intensive, which has led to the development of rapid approaches. Published often inductive nature and rely on transcripts interviews. We describe a deductive analysis approach using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Rese...

Introduction Anaemia during pregnancy is a significant global health problem, disproportionately affecting women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Oral iron the standard of care; however, challenges exist regarding adherence coverage. Increasingly, evidence demonstrates superiority intravenous (IV) over oral iron. Although clinical experience on IV for antenatal anaemia growing, ther...

BACKGROUND Effective counseling and pharmacotherapy for unhealthy alcohol use are rarely provided in HIV treatment settings to patients. Our goal was to describe factors influencing implementation of a stepped care model to address unhealthy alcohol use in HIV clinics from the perspectives of social workers, psychologists and addiction psychiatrists. METHODS We conducted two focus groups with...

BACKGROUND Recent reviews have synthesised the psychometric properties of measures developed to examine implementation science constructs in healthcare and mental health settings. However, no reviews have focussed primarily on the properties of measures developed to assess innovations in public health and community settings. This review identified quantitative measures developed in public healt...

Measurement forms the foundation of any scientific field; yet, systematic reviews reveal that many available measures of implementation context, process, and outcomes lack reliability or validity. An urgent need exists for psychometrically strong measures in implementation science; without them, the field cannot produce cumulative knowledge about implementation barriers, facilitators, processes...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly Zirconium based, have a wide variety of potential applications, such as catalysis and separation. However, these are held back by traditionally only being synthesised in long batch reactions, which causes the process to be expensive limit amount reaction control available, leading variation products, particle size distributions. Microfluidics allows...

Abstract Scaling up an evidence-based mental health program such as the Friendship Bench (FB) Zimbabwe bares many difficulties. Guided by Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), this study sought to understand contextual determinants of FB performance and identify match novel implementation strategies optimally overcome barriers. The CFIR was applied guide twenty-five focus g...

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: COPD is a progressive airways disease that results in death or disability. There poor uptake of clinical guidelines (CPG) to manage and studies bridge this implementation gap have shown inconsistent results. Using science principles we aim understand COPD-CPG determinants from providers’perspective. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The study being conducted ten VA Primary Care Clinic...

Achieving a good success rate in supervised classification analysis of text dataset, where the relationship between and its label can be extracted from context, but not isolated words text, is still an important challenge facing fields statistics machine learning. For this purpose, we present novel mathematical framework. We then conduct comparative study established methods for case correspond...
