Advancing Equity in Implementation Science - PDM1216

To advance equity-centred implementation science, we must focus on developing and advancing the competencies and skills of program designers, facilitators and evaluators so that they have a thorough understanding of the “what” and the “how” to embed equity in their implementation research and practice. Taught a team of researchers leading the world in the advancement of equity-centred Implementation Science, this course will examine multi-disciplinary implementation practices that can be used in all stages of interventions and programs, focussing on the social aspects of involving communities and partners from the outset.
