Improving Cancer Prevention and Control Through Academic-local Public Health Department Partnerships

Обзор

The purpose of this study is to understand how to leverage structures and processes of academic health department (AHD) partnerships to facilitate implementation of cancer related evidence-based programs and policies (EBPPs).

Подробное описание

The investigators will conduct a group-randomized study (total N=28 AHD partnerships) to evaluate the effect of strategies to increase implementation of cancer control and prevention EBPPs by supporting AHD partnerships. Partnerships will be randomized 1:1 to either an active implementation arm in which they will receive tailored strategies based on prior knowledge of successful partnerships or to an existing set of resources for AHD partnerships. A mixed methods approach will be used to evaluate changes in AHD partnerships and understand how contextual factors may have impacted the AHD partnership's ability to support EBPP adoption.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Resources and guided facilitation
  Participants in the intervention arm will participate in a planning period at the beginning of the intervention period to establish the goals for the partnership. The investigators will use the prioritized list of AHD partnership features developed in prior research to guide the initial planning period and then assist the partnership members to plan to implement the corresponding strategies focused on their areas of interest (e.g., developing collaborative projects, hiring faculty, staff, or stu
• Поведенческое Existing resources
  Individuals will be referred to existing resources in the Learning Community.
