NEW collection published in Implementation Science Communications: Economic Evaluation in Implementation Science
The collection is designed to bridge the fields of implementation science, health services research, and health economics to improve comparisons across implementation studies for informed decision-making. Given that costs are often a perceived barrier to implementing new evidence-based interventions, greater understanding of costs and economic evaluation more generally may help optimize uptake of evidence-based implementation strategies and interventions. Editors: Heather Gold, Gila Neta, and Todd Wagner |

AAFP Updates Recommendation on Lung Cancer ScreeningThe updated recommendation, posted on March 31, states that the Academy supports the task force’s [USPSTF] recommendation for annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose CT in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. |

Rural Cancer Advisory Board: An Opportunity for Cancer Researchers to Engage Rural Patient Advisors for InputThe Rural Cancer Advisory Board is currently comprised of 9 women from all over the state. While not experts in healthcare, they are experts in rural living with a variety of backgrounds such as ranchers, teachers, and regional health connectors. The primary purpose of the group is to provide insight, feedback, and recommendations to cancer researchers from a rural patient and caregiver perspective. Our research advisors are volunteers. They have varying levels of experience with cancer; some personally, some as family caregivers, and some as community support. The group meets every other month in a virtual format. Please contact Adreanne Brungardt for more information, including if you would like to present your research study for input from these patient advisors – Adreanne.brungardt@cuanschutz.edu |

RESOURCES FOR STAKEHOLDER & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (linked here) Dissemination and implementation researchers and practitioners should purposefully integrate community engagement into their work as a way to speed translation of knowledge to practice to improve health equity. This tool (linked here), prepared by the CCIS Community Participation Capacity Building Task Group, includes readings, trainings, guidance, tools, and resources to facilitate researchers and community stakeholders in their efforts to practice meaningful community-engaged implementation science.
Intended Users. The intended audience for this tool includes: 1) researchers in D&I and 2) public health, clinical, and other community members involved in implementing evidence in practice/policy or wanting to engage in D&I research. Purpose/Indications for use. The goals of this tool are to: 1) help make the case to D&I researchers of the value of community engagement in their work, 2) provide educational and practical information and tools to help D&I researchers increase engagement in their work, 3) provide an introduction to IS and practice-based research for public health and clinical practitioners as a foundation for their engagement, and 4) provide tools to help community members effectively engage in implementation science. |
