Oral
The purpose of this session was to better understand the expansion and target dissemination mechanisms for translation of research for public health policies and practices. The audience will learn about a variety of transdisciplinary groups and the importance of program planning and interprofessional collaboration in states and communities. The session will also highlight a specific importance on a national scale-up of a curriculum-based healthy relationships program for youth. Other findings presented within this session will also be helpful for researchers and practitioners who disseminate public health programs, in order to ensure the greatest impact on the health of communities.
Session Objectives: Discuss the importance of disseminating research in an accessible format for practitioners. Explain how to translate research results into practice to improve community health. Discuss the experiences and lessons learned through translational research collaboration to professional work environment settings.
