An Introduction to the Use of Behavioural and Implementation Sciences to Improve Health Outcomes

As healthcare systems and healthcare workers work under increasingly dynamic and resource-constrained conditions, we need to reconceptualise healthcare and design interventions that are effective and sustainable for the population in the long run. The objective of this in-person course is to introduce participants to frameworks in Behavioural and Implementation sciences and ways to apply them. Our experienced trainers will provide healthcare leaders and managers with case examples and strategies to improve uptake of interventions into routine practices, thereby increasing public health impact and bridging the research-to-practice gap. Learning Outcomes: 1. Understand why behavioural and implementation science is important to healthcare. 2. Identify barriers and facilitators that impact the translation of evidence to sustainable practice and system change within healthcare. 3. Describe and apply frameworks for designing an effective behavioural and implementation strategy and apply this to real-world challenges. 4. Describe at least one evaluation design that examines implementation outcomes.
