American Psychological Association Best Practices Dissemination Network

描述（由申请人提供）：在制定和确定已证明有效或有效的治疗方法、做法和政策方面的卫生研究取得了重大进展；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、以证据为基础的干预措施在实践中的实施一直很低，部分原因是对医疗保健提供者、决策者、社区领袖和消费者的调查结果进行被动、无效的传播。美国心理学会建议建立一个最佳做法传播网络（BPDN），目的是传播有效的以病人为中心的保健干预措施，以改善服务不足的保健重点人群的健康，例如种族/族裔人群、来自健康差异人群的男性。宣传运动将侧重于烟草依赖和肥胖，这两种国家卫生优先状况在健康差异人群中是造成慢性疾病和死亡的主要原因。具体目标是：1)在APA内部建立并维持一个持续的协作基础设施网络，以传播以患者为中心的循证结果研究，重点关注服务不足人群的健康优先需求；2)设计并实施两项关于烟草依赖和肥胖的宣传活动，目标人群是心理学家和其他协会成员，他们(a)提供直接护理和服务，(b)从事教育，培训和专业发展以及(c)负责项目和政策的制定；3)评估传播外展战略的使用程度，例如，与传统知识转移机制相比，各种社交媒体的使用和顺序、影响接受度和参与度。4)确定有助于接受者采用和实施所分享的有效做法的意愿的因素，以及向吸收和使用这些做法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.
