Background:
Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) developed an online self-paced course to address the gap identified in critical thinking skills related to peer-reviewed nutrition science publications. Initial engagement was low, prompting the launch of a quality improvement project utilizing Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) science principles to enhance participation. This report details the development and execution of the dissemination strategy, course promotion methods, and outcomes related to participant engagement and feedback.
Methods:
A dissemination plan was designed and implemented using the Value-Added Research Dissemination Framework and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Dissemination efforts targeted registered dietitians and university nutrition program instructors, along with their students.
Results:
During the active dissemination period from January to May 2023, the cumulative numbers of learners increased from 23 to 118. Instructors from three nutrition degree programs found the course valuable, reporting that it introduced new content or reinforced existing material. Learner participation continued past the active dissemination period into 2024. Findings from the course evaluation survey provided insights to guide future course improvements.
Conclusion:
This project demonstrates the successful use of D&I frameworks to support the dissemination and implementation of educational innovations such as online learning initiatives.
