“…The nine identified clinical interventions were predominantly cessation groups (with or without nicotine replacement therapy) 33–35,37–40,46 and two clinical trials. 37,41 Community organizations, notably the Coalition of Lavender Americans on Smoking and Health (CLASH), have adapted group cessation curricula into The Last Drag 38,43 and Bitch to Quit programs.…”

“…Program innovations are often created by practitioners (“practice-based evidence”), and documentation of these innovations can contribute to the design of interventions that are more feasible to implement in real-world settings. 28,35 Thus, from January to November 2013, the first author sent e-mails to corresponding authors ( n =19) of included studies and individuals ( n =38) known to have an interest in LGBT tobacco treatment by the authors of this review or suggested by the researchers that were contacted. Unpublished manuscripts, manuscripts in press, conference papers, conference posters, evaluation reports, and grant close-out reports related to the key study aims were requested.…”

Context Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are at increased risk for the adverse effects of tobacco use given their high prevalence of use, especially smoking. Evidence regarding cessation is limited. To determine if efficacious interventions are available and to aid the development of interventions, a systematic review was conducted of gray and peer-reviewed literature describing clinical, community, and policy interventions as well as knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding tobacco use cessation among LGBT people. Evidence acquisition Eight databases for articles from 1987 to April 23, 2014 were searched. In February–November 2013, authors and researchers were contacted to identify gray literature. Evidence synthesis The search identified 57 records, of which 51 were relevant and 22 were from the gray literature; these were abstracted into evidence tables, and a narrative synthesis was conducted in October–May 2014. Group cessation curricula tailored for LGBT populations were found feasible to implement and show evidence of effectiveness. Community interventions have been implemented by and for LGBT communities; although these interventions showed feasibility, no rigorous outcome evaluations exist. Clinical interventions show little difference between LGBT and heterosexual people. Focus groups suggest that care is needed in selecting messaging used in media campaigns. Conclusions LGBT-serving organizations should implement existing evidence-based tobacco dependence treatment and clinical systems to support treatment of tobacco use. A clear commitment from government and funders is needed to investigate whether sexual orientation and gender identity moderate the impacts of policy interventions, media campaigns, and clinical interventions.

“…Working from the bottom up, emerging intervention strategies are those suitable for pilot testing or exploratory evaluation (42). For example, emerging intervention strategies included policy changes such as taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages or jointuse agreements to make school playgrounds available for community use after school hours (18,50,51).…”

“…On the one hand, finding evaluation data on these interventions is a challenge. For emerging strategies, exploratory evaluation has proven valuable to uncover and prioritize interventions for more extensive evaluation (42). On the other hand, many of these interventions are adopted in the field without clear operationalization unless the strategies are guided by a larger initiative or community demonstration project.…”

The childhood obesity epidemic has stimulated the emergence of many policy and environmental strategies to increase healthy eating and active living, with relatively few research recommendations identifying the most effective and generalizable strategies. Yet, local, state, and national decision makers have an urgent need to take action, particularly with respect to lower-income and racial and ethnic populations at greatest risk. With the surge of promising and emerging policy and environmental strategies, this review provides a framework, criteria, and process modeled from existing expert classification systems to assess the strength of evidence for these strategies. Likewise, this review highlights evidence gaps and ways to increase the types and amount of evidence available to inform policy and environmental strategies. These priorities include documenting independent and interdependent effects, determining applicability to different populations and settings, assessing implementation fidelity and feasibility, identifying cumulative benefits and costs, ascertaining impacts on health equity, and tracking sustainability. 199

“…Efforts to identify practice-based innovations worthy of further research and, if effective, refined support systems to bolster these innovations in practice—were not submitted. Methods such as the systematic screening and assessment methodology (Leviton & Gutman, 2010) used to identify innovative practices developed by the Delivery System were absent from this issue. Perhaps this reflects the audience of the journal or a lack of resonance with the ISF among those aiming to build practice-driven/practice-based innovations.…”

The need for new ways to bridge the gap between research and practice is clear; the use of evidence-based prevention programs and implementation with fidelity in practice are strikingly limited. For example, the U.S. Department of Education (2011) evaluation of the use of evidence-based prevention programs in substance abuse and school crime reported that only 7.8% of school programs met a standard of being research-based. Of these research-based programs, 44% met standards for being implemented with fidelity. Therefore, approximately 3.5% of all the school-based prevention programs in the study were both research-based and implemented with fidelity. This study illustrates the proverbial gap between research and practice and the clear need for better ways to bridge the two.Historically, funders, scientists and practitioners have been aware of the need to bridge research and practice dating as far back to the 1862 Morrill Act, which was designed to create land-grant colleges and universities to better educate the population to avail themselves of knowledge of agriculture and mechanics. Early models of dissemination in business, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and the behavioral sciences recognized the need for agents and systems of change that fostered diffusion and adoption of innovations (Fairweather & Davidson, 1986;Havelock, 1973;Rogers, 2003). In 2008, the Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF) was created to help bridge research and practice by specifying the systems and processes required to support dissemination and implementation of evidence-based programs, processes, practices, and policies . The ISF identifies three key systems necessary for this process which include the Prevention Synthesis and Translation System, the Prevention Support System, and the Prevention Delivery System. In the four years that have passed since the publication of the first special issue on the ISF in AJCP, many researchers and practitioners have applied the key concepts and themes found in the ISF to their current work. The articles in the second special issue on the ISF serve as an extension and complement to the original work. In this introduction to the issue, we outline the roots andThe findings and conclusions in this special issue on the Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
