Advancing equity through implementation science in adolescent substance use prevention
Culturally and contextually grounded preventive interventions can address upstream risk and protective factors to improve equity, but only if they are implemented in systems that serve underrepresented groups. This presentation from Cady Berkel, PhD (Arizona State University) shared findings a program of community based research conducted in partnership with multiple settings (e.g., pediatric primary care, family courts, corrections) to advance equitable access to evidence-based substance use prevention for adolescents and families. Dr. Berkel also discussed implementation science frameworks and designs to incorporate equity and accelerate the translation of research into practice.
