Using Implementation Mapping to increase Uptake and Use of Salud En Mis Manos: a Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening and Hpv Vaccination intervention For Latinas

BACKGROUND: Despite CDC recommendations for breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, cancer control behaviors are underutilized among low-income Latinas. METHODS: We used Implementation Mapping to create SEMM-Dissemination and Implementation Assistance (SEMM-DIA), a set of implementation strategies designed to support implementation and maintenance of SEMM in clinic settings. Specifically, we used Implementation Mapping\u27s five iterative tasks to guide the use of theories and frameworks, evidence, new data, and stakeholder input to develop strategies to accelerate and improve implementation fidelity, reach, and maintenance of the SEMM intervention. The resulting implementation mapping logic model also guides the SEMM-DIA evaluation plan to assess reach, effectiveness, implementation, and maintenance. DISCUSSION: Increased use of implementation planning frameworks is necessary to accelerate the translation of EBIs to public health practice. This work demonstrates the application of Implementation Mapping to develop SEMM-DIA, providing a model for the development of other implementation strategies to support translation of evidence-based health promotion interventions into clinic settings

UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP) : scenario 4

Sustainable systems such as the food system need to be considered in campus planning. The importance of a sustainable food system at UBC has been acknowledged. However, as of yet, no concrete plan exists to integrate food systems into campus planning at the university. Before food systems can be included in campus planning, a clear outline of the university’s vision of a sustainable food system is necessary. We propose a set of objectives as our vision. These objectives are not identical to those decided by previous colleagues in AGSC 450 and the differences are discussed. This paper outlines the reasons and importance for integrating food systems into campus planning and provides recommendations in two key forms: 1) Mechanisms of addressing food systems in the Main Campus Plan (MCP) – the plan for institutional development at UBC, and 2) The development of a Supplementary Food System Plan. The goals and purpose of the MCP display inherent limitations to the extent that food systems can be included at this level. The MCP is intended to be a more general plan, which provides ultimate objectives but no specific mechanisms for achieving these goals. However, as these specific mechanisms are fundamental components of fulfilling objectives for a sustainable campus food system, we propose a supplementary plan for food systems. This plan would be supplementary to the MCP and can provide specific actions needed en route to a sustainable food system. Even though we provide a list of ways to attain sustainability in food systems at UBC, there are evidently missing pieces and a need for further detail and development of this plan. Consequently, we conclude with several recommendations for campus leaders of sustainability and for future AGSC 450 students.

Using Implementation Mapping to increase uptake and use of Saluden Mis Manos: A breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination intervention for Latinas

BackgroundDespite CDC recommendations for breast and cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, cancer control behaviors are underutilized among low-income Latinas. Salud en Mis Manos (SEMM), adapted from Cultivando La Salud, is a community health worker- (CHW-) delivered evidence-based intervention (EBI), shown to increase breast and cervical cancer screening.MethodsWe used Implementation Mapping to create SEMM-Dissemination and Implementation Assistance (SEMM-DIA), a set of implementation strategies designed to support implementation and maintenance of SEMM in clinic settings. Specifically, we used Implementation Mapping's five iterative tasks to guide the use of theories and frameworks, evidence, new data, and stakeholder input to develop strategies to accelerate and improve implementation fidelity, reach, and maintenance of the SEMM intervention. The resulting implementation mapping logic model also guides the SEMM-DIA evaluation plan to assess reach, effectiveness, implementation, and maintenance.DiscussionIncreased use of implementation planning frameworks is necessary to accelerate the translation of EBIs to public health practice. This work demonstrates the application of Implementation Mapping to develop SEMM-DIA, providing a model for the development of other implementation strategies to support translation of evidence-based health promotion interventions into clinic settings
