We contribute evidence for effective policy guidance on leveraging grant funding, contracts, and other financing strategies to facilitate evidence-based practice (EBP) reach.

This work uses the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment #EPIS Framework and an explanatory sequential (QUAN -> QUAL) mixed-method comparative case study design to examine 19 U.S. states across 3 levels of reach (high, medium, low).

Very excited to share our recent piece on “Clarity and consistency in government-funded implementation strategies associated with greater evidence-based practice reach: a mixed-method comparative case study” in Implementation Science @implementsci.bsky.social

From Margins to Mainstream: How Amplification May Be Giving Misinformation New Reach | KFF Efforts to correct misinformation can unintentionally amplify it by increasing engagement, repetition, and visibility. During times of low trust, even debunked claims can erode confidence in health institutions. Communicators can limit amplification by ...

Media coverage may criticize or contextualize a misinformed claim, but these criticisms and corrections can extend the claim’s reach and persistence.

Implementation science grant terminations in the United States - Implementation Science

Please see our editorial led by @rsbeidas.bsky.social on the impact of US federal grant terminations on the field of implementation science in the US and globally. impimplementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13012-...

How National Medicaid Work Requirements Would Lead to Large-Scale Job Losses, Harm State Economies, and Strain Budgets States could see billions of dollars in reduced economic activity, lower state/local tax revenues, and large job losses if Medicaid work requirements are imposed.

Work requirements do not work.

If enacted in 2026, national #Medicaid work requirements could result in:

📉 Up to 5.2M adults losing coverage
💼 449,000 jobs lost
💰 State GDPs could shrink by up to $59 billion
💸 $4.4B drop in state and local tax revenue

📍 See the projected state-by-state impact ⤵️

A Look at Federal Health Data Taken Offline | KFF This post looks at federal government databases with key health data that went offline on Jan. 31, 2025, including several related to HIV, some of which had returned by Feb. 2, 2025. It briefly descri...

Several federal datasets and health surveys came offline last Friday. Some have returned.

We explain what these data are and how they’re used in interventions to address our nation’s biggest health challenges:

Please consider submitting and joining us in Pittsburgh next September! Thrilled to be serving as one of the Co-Chairs for this next conference. The theme is “Community Engagement in Population Health Science.”

And deep thanks to those who came to see my talk on “Policy implications for federal grant investment to promote reach of adolescent substance use treatment implementation: Comparative case analysis of 19 states.” Really appreciate the thoughtful engagement with our methods and our findings!

That’s a wrap on another wonderful D&I conference! Grateful for this opportunity every December to connect with colleagues near and far who are dedicated to thinking deeply about how to use #impsci to make meaningful and sustained impact. #DIScience24
