Course Information

Description

The structure of the course is divided into two major sections: (1) idea generation, during which the theory of behavior change at the individual and organizational-level is applied to the understanding of evidence gaps in healthcare delivery to identify potential strategies for optimizing adoption of evidence-based practices, and (2) evaluation methods for assessing the impact of interventions to overcome evidence gaps and the factors that influence their success or failure. Specific tools in both qualitative and qualitative methods approaches will be emphasized, with the course faculty and invited guests providing specific examples from their own work.
