Description

We often lament the know-do gap in our community-based work; that is, the distance between knowing what to do and actually doing it. What if we were more mindful of how we implement our programs, would our outcomes improve? In this interactive session we will explore what the field of Implementation Science (IS) offers to close the know-do gap.

Purpose

Participants will become familiar with key IS concepts and how to apply them to improve local program implementation efforts.
