Dissemination of Evidence-Based Prevention Interventions and Policies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Prevention of Substance Use

Part of the book series: Advances in Prevention Science ((Adv. Prevention Science))

Abstract

In this chapter, we overview the current state of dissemination of evidence-based substance-use prevention programs (EBPs) in the substance-use prevention field from an implementation science perspective. Implementation science is defined as a scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other EBPs into routine practice to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services and care. To improve quality and effectiveness of EBP implementation a helpful set of models and frameworks are needed that are specific to supporting dissemination and quality implementation and that can be applied across the wide diversity of EBPs. We begin with an overview of how prevalent substance-use prevention EBPs are in real-world settings. Then we discuss factors that can impede and facilitate the dissemination and use of EBPs. That review will be anchored within a prominent implementation science framework called the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), whose subdomains could be considered risk and protective factors for quality implementation. Then we review both researcher- and government-led efforts to improve the dissemination of EBPs guided by the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) for dissemination and implementation of preventive innovations. The ISF is used because it is a meta-framework and takes a broad overarching and synthesis approach to implementation science—much like we are doing in this chapter. We end with a discussion of implications for the future dissemination and quality implementation of substance-use prevention EBPs, including presenting new ideas, such as social innovation bonds, for supporting implementation.
