From Effectiveness to Meaningful Change: Implementation and Sustainability of Sexual Violence Prevention Programs
When: Monday, November 11, 2024, 4-5pm EST Where: Zoom
Details below.
Rachel Jackson-Gordon, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Family Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on the primary prevention of violence, specifically through the implementation of prevention programs. She uses community-engaged and mixed methods research approaches to support the potential of moving from research to action in communities.
Summary: In this training, key implementation science concepts and frameworks will be introduced, with a focus on their application to sexual violence prevention programs. The session will provide an overview of research conducted by the presenter and other experts in the field of sexual violence prevention, particularly as it relates to program implementation and sustainability. Projects and concepts will be presented in the context of the translational research pathway, efficacy and effectiveness trials to achieving meaningful widespread change, such as reducing the prevalence of sexual violence. Attendees will be encouraged to connect these frameworks to their own work.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, learners will be able to:
- Identify and describe key implementation outcomes.
- Understand the translational research spectrum and the role of implementation science..
- Identify the status of current sexual violence prevention programs and strategies on the translational research spectrum.
- Define program sustainability and describe a key framework for sustainability.
Who might benefit from attending?
This training will be most relevant to researchers and program evaluators at any stage. Program implementers and funders may also benefit from the content of this training.
