Introduction to the Special Section on Dissemination: Dissemination Research and Research Dissemination: How Can We Close the Gap?

Kerner, Jon, Rimer, Barbara, Emmons, Karen·2005·Health Psychology

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges facing health promotion and disease prevention is translating research findings into evidence-based public health and clinical practices that are actively disseminated and widely adopted. Despite the tremendous strides made in developing effective disease prevention and control programs, there has been little study of effective dissemination of evidence-based programs to and adoption by community, public health, and clinical practice settings. This special section provides a venue in which to highlight exemplary dissemination research efforts while also identifying limitations in research to date and framing important future research questions. This issue establishes a resource for investigators interested in dissemination research, with relevance to health psychology. In this sense, it can serve as a benchmark by which to examine subsequent progress. The 6 articles reflect the state of the science in dissemination research for the promotion and adoption of health behavior change interventions.

  • Dissemination of empirically-validated psychological interventions for cancer patients is challenging, and many patients who could benefit do not receive it.

    “Despite substantial evidence for the effectiveness of psychological interventions in reducing distress among cancer patients, dissemination of empirically-validated interventions is challenging, and many patients who could benefit from this intervention do not receive it (Ellis et al., 2005; Jacobsen, 2009; Kerner et al., 2005; Stanton, 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
