RE-AIMing research for application: ways to improve evidence for family medicine
1Kaiser Permanente Colorado, 335 Road Runner Lane, Penrose, CO 81240, USA. russg@ris.net
Objective:
To outline changes in clinical research design and measurement that should enhance the relevance of research to family medicine.
Methods:
Review of the traditional efficacy research paradigm and discussion of why this needs to be expanded. Presentation of practical clinical and behavioral trials frameworks, and of the RE-AIM model for planning, evaluating, and reporting studies.
Results:
Recommended changes to improve the external validity and relevance of research to family medicine include studying multiple clinical practices, realistic alternative program choices, heterogeneous and representative patients, and multiple outcomes including cost, behavior change of patients and staff, generalization, and quality of life.
Conclusions:
The methods and procedures discussed can help program planners, evaluators and readers of research articles to evaluate the replicability, consistency of effects, and likelihood of widespread adoption of interventions.
