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

Replication data for: INDIA (2009): A Quantitative Study to Measure IUD Recommending Behaviour and related Triggers and Biases among Private Providers in 3 Project States for Project WHP ROUND-1

Now PSI will form a network of private health care providers, train them on providing quality IUD and MA services. At the same time PSI will also carry out communication activities (both on ground and mass media) to generate demand for IUD among married women. In order to understand the current family planning recommending practices of health care providers and exiting biases pertaining to IUD, PSI India conducted a quantitative study among the among private health care providers practicing in urban and peri-urban areas of the program districts. Key objective of this study was to establish current levels of IUD recommending behaviour and measure the extent of biases prevalent among private providers pertaining to IUD (objective-1). In addition, this study also aimed to monitor the network providers desired behaviors and related quality parameters pertaining to IUD (objective-2)

Replication data for: INDIA (2010): TRaC Study for IUD use Behavior Among Women and men in 3 Project States for Project PEHEL ROUND-1

PSI India used the TRaC methodology, which is designed to provide actionable evidence for decision making. The TRaC survey systematically and repeatedly measures levels and trends of indicators such as behaviors and its determinants. The details of the methodology followed and framework for development and construction of the variable for the behavioral determinants are provided in Annex-1 and Annex-2 respectively. Stratified multi-stage cluster sampling design with systematic random selection of clusters was used to recruit the respondents for this survey, which provided project level representation of sample size of 12,000 respondents. Selection of respondents in each cluster was done following systematic random selection process after listing down all households of the respective cluster. Face to face interviews were conducted among selected men and women using a structured questionnaire. The study questionnaire, including a number of questions measuring PSI's behavior change factors, was developed from PSIs generic sample questionnaire and was field tested with 150 respondents (50 per state) prior to the main data collection. Factors with statistically significant association with current IUD use were identified using multivariate analysis and simple descriptive analysis was run on the study data to monitor the project indicators

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.
