Our faculty’s contributions are foundational for advancing the field of Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) research.
Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health
Discourse on D&I, both in the U.S. and globally, has been shaped by the book Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health: Translating Science to Practice (Oxford University Press, 2017; 1st ed. 2012).
Co-edited by three WashU faculty members — Ross C. Brownson, Graham A. Colditz, and Enola K. Proctor — the text outlines the key context, theory, and approaches for D&I.
They spotlight key challenges and opportunities to make research efforts as impactful and life-changing as they are meant to be. This text has become a seminal resource in the field of Dissemination & Implementation.
