About Course

Welcome to the course on Implementation Research in Mental Health. This course explores the fundamentals of implementation science; introduces strategies for using innovative scientific methods and tools of diverse disciplines to understand and overcome impediments to implementation and facilitate scale-up; and uses applied case studies to identify and contextualize implementation successes and failures. 

Course duration:  3 hrs lecture and 4 weeks of self paced study

Course Content(s)

  • Fundamental of Implementation Research
  • Types of Implementation Research
  • Impact Evaluation and IS study designs for mental health
  • Evidence translation
  • Dissemination of mental health Research
  • Scaling up mental health interventions
  • Economics of mental health 

Course Objective(s)

By the end of the course, participants are expect to achieve the following objectives:
  • Identify appropriate interventions to translate into practice. 
  • Design effective and sustainable implementation strategies. 
  • Design comprehensive evaluations of intervention implementation strategies to overcome impediments to implementation and facilitate timely scale-up of proven interventions with high levels of fidelity and effectiveness.
  • Identify the major factors that limit the translation of evidence into effective health programs 
  • Describe the role of complementary implementation science research methods in the development of evidence-based health programs and policies.
  • Describe frameworks for designing successful implementation strategies and apply the framework to a real-world health problem.
