Increasing the uptake of effective youth addiction treatment via dissemination and implementation science.

This presentation describes a program of research focused on increasing the uptake of effective services for youth with or at risk of substance use disorders. The presentation introduces both patient-focused dissemination (e.g., technology-assisted interventions, direct-to-consumer marketing) and provider- and organization-focused (e.g., multi-level implementation strategy) strategies. Fundamentals of dissemination and implementation science, as well as priorities for future research, are also discussed.
