New in @implementsci.bsky.social: We conducted a secondary analysis of 204 trials, revealing gaps in reporting implementation strategies and target HCP behaviors using TIDieR and AACTT. Structured reporting is essential for transparency & replication. 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s130... #ImpSci #TIDieR #AACTT

Advancing the selection of implementation science theories, models, and frameworks: a scoping review and the development of the SELECT-IT meta-framework - Implementation Science
Background Theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) are central to implementation practice and research. Selecting one or more TMF(s) for a project remains challenging due to numerous options and limit...

How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social
Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly. Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time? So, I visualized it myself!
At the first ever D&I conference, I argued that we needed more theory but less theories. I stand by that and worry that the profusion of theories, models and frameworks is hindering progress by creating too much noise! @gfontaine.bsky.social
When thinking about the pace of #DIScience24 , how do we deal with distractions of new frameworks and models and desire to quickly build new catapults and bridges? - @jhfordii.bsky.social Such a good question! It’s tempting to follow the newest “perfect” framework and restart all over again.

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Hey #Bluesky 👋 I just deactivated my Twitter/X account and am officially here for the long haul. Looking forward to building community and connecting with you all in this new space! #AcademicSky #ImpSci @bsky.app
I wish everyone in the US would read this book by Peter Hotez to counter the chaos that will unfold in the next few years
Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
