Abstract
  • Dissemination and implementation (D&I) aims to bridge the gap between discovery of new research and application of these findings in public health and healthcare settings. Systematic and defined methods of D&I are essential to promote the effective utilization of evidence-based practices to improve the quality of health promotion and population health. As D&I is relatively new on the research agenda and has evolved from diverse disciplines, challenges exist that impede the D&I process including inconsistent terminology, shortcomings and underutilization of relevant conceptual models, and a lack of consensus regarding appropriate research designs and methods. This paper aims to unify the most recent research in the field of D&I and use this information to inform strategies of the Protect Them© project, an intervention that implements D&I communication based strategies intended to motivate providers, parents and preteens to discuss prevention of a sexually transmitted infection and completion of the HPV vaccine series.
