This second episode features a conversation with Dr. Stacy Farr, Co-Director of the Healthcare Institute for Innovations Quality (HI-IQ) and Associate Professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Farr tells the DIG why she cares about implementation science. Check out Dr. Farr's recommendations for choice papers in the field:

• The Tailored Implementation in Chronic Diseases (TICD) project: introduction and main findings (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13012-016-0536-x).
• A refined compilation of implementation strategies: results from the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) project (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13012-015-0209-1)

This first episode features a conversation with Dr. Stacy Farr, Co-Director of the Healthcare Institute for Innovations Quality (HI-IQ) and Associate Professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Here, she discusses how she first became familiar with Dissemination and Implementation Science (D&I) and some spots where she has seen D&I approaches shine.

In this second episode on the knowledge translation spectrum and examples of implementation uses, Dr. Jill Marsteller walks us through an example of a Hybrid Type III clinical trial to assess implementation feasibility for whether nurses could implement music as a pain relief modality.

This episode is comprised of a seminar lecture led by Dr. Jill Marsteller, Dr. Christina Yuan, and Dr. Fadia Shaya with the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research. This first part begins with Dr. Marsteller discussing how to navigate the knowledge-translation spectrum and where implementation science fits in.

Next, Dr. Christina Yuan walks through an example (image below) of how implementation science can be used in hybrid-type trials looking to improve cardiovascular health in community mental health settings.

Episode Part 3 features a conversation between Dr. Gail Daumit, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, the two talk about resources available to those that are looking to learn more about dissemination and implementation science. Gail provides literature and practical useful concepts, frameworks, and strategies for those just getting their feet wet in the D&I space.

Resources Mentioned During the Podcast:

1. Northwestern and University of Pennsylvania Implementation Coursework:
   1. Methodological Training Institutes Department of Medical Social Sciences: Feinberg School of Medicine
   2. Implementation Science Institute | Penn Implementation Science Center | Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
2. Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) Framework
3. Implementation strategies and expert recommendations for implementing change
4. Implementation Science Research Logic Model

Episode Part 2 features a conversation between Dr. Gail Daumit, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, the two talk about Gail's career progression, and the evolution of her work evolved from pilot intervention studies, to multicenter studies and implementation science pilots, to multi-state trials in preparation for dissemination.

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Gail Daumit, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, the two talk Gail's educational background and training progression as she moved into medicine, mental health, and large scale studies that led her towards dissemination and implementation (D&I).

Episode Part 3 features a conversation between Dr. Christina Yuan, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, Christina's provides examples of how she uses dissemination and implementation approaches in her own day-to-day work and about her focus on examining implementation strategies, which support the intervention uptake and sustainment. We close with Christina describing the ideal working relationships that result in good collaborations with implementation scientists.

Episode Part 2 features a conversation between Dr. Christina Yuan, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, Christina discusses how she hopes the DIG will serve as a key point of entry to the complex area of D&I, the importance of demystifying dissemination and implementation concepts, and how understanding context is central to D&I approaches – stressing an understanding what works, for whom, and under specific conditions for interventions to be maximally impactful.

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Christina Yuan, co-lead for the DIG, and show host, Dr. Shannon Cole. Here, the two talk about Christina's educational background that led her towards dissemination and implementation (D&I) science at its inception as a research field, how D&I represents a confluence of many fields of study, and how D&I researchers help the research community be intentional about approaches to implementing interventions that work between contexts.
