American Psychological Association Best Practices Dissemination Network

描述(由申请人提供)：卫生研究在开发和确定具有证明的有效性或有效性的治疗、实践和政策方面取得了重大进展；然而，在将这些发现转化为能够使患者和社区受益的现实环境方面进展甚微。以患者为中心的循证干预措施在实践中的执行率较低，部分原因是被动、无效地将调查结果传播给医疗保健提供者、政策制定者、社区领导人和消费者。美国心理学协会建议建立一个最佳实践传播网络(BPDN)，目的是传播有效的以病人为中心的保健干预措施，以改善服务不足的健康优先人群的健康，例如种族/民族人口、健康差距人口的男性。宣传活动将侧重于烟草依赖和肥胖，这是两种国家健康优先疾病，对健康差距人群中的慢性病和死亡率有重大影响。具体目标是：1)在APA内建立和维持一个持续的合作基础设施网络，以传播以患者为中心的、以证据为基础的研究成果，重点关注服务不足人群的健康优先需求；2)设计和实施两个关于烟草依赖和肥胖的宣传活动，每个活动针对的是心理学家和其他协会成员，他们(A)提供直接的护理和服务，(B)从事教育、培训和专业发展，(C)负责计划和政策的制定；3)评估在多大程度上采用了传播外联战略，例如，各种社交媒体的使用和排序与传统知识传授机制相比，影响接受者的接受能力和参与度，以及4)查明促使接受者有意采用和实施有效做法的因素，以及分享的做法，以及他们走向吸收和使用所需的培训和技术援助需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Significant progress has been made in health research on developing and identifying treatments, practices, and policies with demonstrated efficacy or effectiveness; however, little progress has been made in translating these findings into real world settings where they can benefit patients and communities. The implementation of patient-centered, evidence-based interventions into practice has been low due in part to passive, ineffective dissemination of the findings to healthcare providers, policy makers, community leaders and consumers. The American Psychological Association proposes to develop a Best Practices Dissemination Network (BPDN) for the purpose of disseminating effective patient-centered healthcare interventions to improve the health of underserved health priority populations, e.g. racial/ethnic populations, men from health disparity populations. Dissemination campaigns will focus on tobacco dependence and obesity, two national health priority conditions that contribute significantly to chronic illnesses and mortality among health disparity populations. Specific aims are to: 1) Establish and maintain an ongoing collaborative infrastructure network within the APA for the dissemination of patient-centered, evidence-based outcomes research focused on health priority needs of underserved populations, 2) Design and implement two dissemination campaigns each on tobacco dependence and obesity targeted to psychologists and other association members who (a) provide direct care and services, (b) are engaged in education, training and professional development and (c) are responsible for program and policy development; 3) Assess the extent to which dissemination outreach strategies used, e.g., the use and sequencing of various social media versus traditional knowledge transfer mechanisms, impact receptivity and engagement and 4) Identify factors contributing to the intention of recipients to adopt and implement effective practices shared and the training and technical assistance needs they require to move towards uptake and use.
