Methods For Implementation Science in Global Health
缅北强奸 Global Health Programs is proud to partner with the Universit茅 de Montr茅al Chair REALISME (Interventional applied research in global health and equity).
Implementation science is not implementation research (use of evidence for intervention); it is about mobilizing theories, concepts and methods to better understand what, why, and how interventions work in a "real world" setting (). But it is more easily stated than accomplished!听
This half-day workshop will be the opportunity for trainees and students to learn from their peers how to mobilize specifics methods to study the implementation of global health interventions. The workshop will be divided in 3 parts. After an introductory lecture, the second part will be organized around a series of short (8-10鈥� talk) presentations by students and researchers who will focus on methods used and put forward their reflexive thinking about using these methods. The second part will consist of a world coffee session where participants will have the opportunity to discuss and share experience with each of the presenters.
