Summary
Research-practice partnerships effectively disseminate school health programs like TransformUs. Understanding partner experiences and organizational factors is key for successful, large-scale adoption of evidence-based interventions.
Area of Science:
- Public Health Interventions
- Health Promotion in Schools
- Research-Practice Partnerships
Background:
- Scaling evidence-based programs requires effective dissemination and adoption.
- Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) can facilitate program legitimacy and organizational uptake.
- Leveraging partner contributions within RPPs during dissemination is not well understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate partner organization experiences disseminating the TransformUs program.
- To identify factors influencing school awareness and adoption of TransformUs from partner perspectives.
- To inform strategies for optimizing RPPs in program dissemination.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with representatives from 15 partner organizations.
- Interview guide informed by the RE-AIM framework.
- Thematic analysis of transcribed interview data.
Main Results:
- Identified four key themes: organizational barriers/facilitators, implementation support, research experience, and dissemination strategy.
- Partners utilized diverse dissemination channels; program goal alignment facilitated adoption.
- Partners provided specific recommendations for future collaborations and dissemination activities.
Conclusions:
- Researchers should anticipate and address organizational barriers faced by partners in RPPs.
- Proactive communication and feedback loops enhance research-practice experiences.
- Tailored dissemination strategies, informed by partner input, are crucial for successful program scale-up.

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
87
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
