- Build knowledge and skills in developing, adapting, and implementing theory-informed and evidence-based health promotion programs and interventions rooted in the behavioral and social sciences.
- Focus on a topic of their interest to craft an initial evaluation plan by compiling a needs assessment, program development and implementation strategies.
The course format includes lectures, small group work using problem-based learning, group discussions, and presentations of participant projects. A copy of Planning Health Promotion Programs: An Intervention Mapping Approach, 4th edition, Jossey-Bass, 2016 will be included in this course.

Dissemination and Implementation Research Training
Dissemination and implementation research seeks to bridge the gap between health sciences research, everyday practice and population health by building a knowledge base about how health information, interventions, and new clinical practices and policies are communicated and implemented in public health and health care settings. This workshop is appropriate for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty interested in implementation science.
