Translational Research Types
Systematic study of processes and factors that lead to widespread use of an EBI
Dissemination research
Interventions that have a certain level of evidence from efficacy or effectiveness studies and ready for dissemination or implementation
Evidence-based interventions
extent to which core intervention elements are successfully delivered as intended (protocol, dose, quality, participant acceptance)
fidelity
ability of a program or EBI to engage it's ultimate audience
reach
absence of avoidable, unfair, or remediable/structurally addressable differences among groups of people
equity
Research that determines the impact a intervention with demonstrated efficacy when delivered in real-world conditions
Effectiveness research
An idea, practice, or "thing" that is perceived as new by an individual or unit of adoption.
Innovation
degree to which an EBI or implementation strategy is changed or modified for implementation to fit the target context/setting
adaptation
decision of an organization or group to use an EBI
adoption
hierarchical structure of oppressions that operates at multiple levels and across systems based on racial characteristics
racism
Research that seeks to understand the processes and factors that are associated with successful integration of EBIs within settings
Implementation research
type of evidence that relates to etiology or burden as the cause of a particular outcome.
Type I evidence
the characteristics and circumstances within which an EBI is implemented
context
ability of setting or community to continuously deliver health benefits achieved when the intervention was first implemented
maintenance
Policies that are localized, small scale related to organizational and institutional, non- governmental policies
Small P policy
Applying scientific evidence to real-world practice
Translation
evidence that demonstrates relative impact of specific intervention to address an outcome
Type II evidence
variables on the causal pathway between independent and dependent variables
mediators
extent to which an EBI can deliver its intended benefits over a longer period after expert supports have ended
sustainability
formal government policies
Big P Policies
Research that evaluates the initial impact of an intervention when delivered in optimal/laboratory conditions
Efficacy research
evidence that informs or supports what is needed for adaptation and implementation of an EBI
Type III evidence
variation in the outcome across levels of another variable (age, dose, adherence)
moderators
interventions are expected to yield lower benefits as them move toward sustainability due to added complexities
voltage drop
deliberate inclusion and meaningful interaction and engagement with partners
Stakeholder engagement
