Project Title: De-Implementation of Unnecessary Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Children
Project Description: This study will identify and test interventions to eliminate unnecessary antibiotic use in children undergoing surgical procedures. Results from this study will be disseminated to other hospitals that perform surgeries in children, leading to a significant reduction in unnecessary antibiotic use.

Project Title: Washington University Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control (WU – ISCCC) (P50 CA-19-006)
Project Description: The overall goal of the WU-ISCCC is to build a rigorous, scientific evidence base for rapid-cycle implementation research to increase the reach, external validity, and sustainability of effective cancer control interventions. Our focus is on disadvantaged and minority populations in rural and other under served communities. We believe interventions are most effective when they are adapted and implemented in real-world settings in partnership with practice-based stakeholders and integrated across settings that impact cancer control.

Project Title: Understanding Implementation Mechanisms: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Schools Aimed at Testing the Effectiveness of Implementation Strategies and their Mechanisms of Change
Project Description: There is an urgent need for more knowledge on effective implementation strategies, as two-thirds of implementation efforts fail to achieve the intended change, and half have no effect on outcomes of interest. These implementation failures are partly due to the limited understanding of how implementation strategies work—the mechanisms of change through which implementation strategies affect implementation. This project will fill this research-gap by incorporating mediation analyses into a cluster randomized controlled trial that compares the effectiveness of two implementation strategies for implementing the Guideline for the prevention of mental ill-health at the workplace in schools.

Completed Projects
Funding Agency: National Institute of Mental Health
Project Description: The purpose of this K01 is to develop the Collaborative Organizational Approach to Selecting and Tailoring Implementation Strategies (COAST-IS), an innovative intervention that will help organizations to use Intervention Mapping to thoughtfully address context and EBP-specific determinants of implementation and sustainment. We will then conduct a randomized pilot trial of COAST-IS in eight organizations.
