Interviewee Karen Blase

Karen Blase, PhD, is Senior Scientist Emerita at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Karen is a Founder, along with Dean Fixsen, of the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). Karen has been a program developer, researcher, program evaluator, and published author in human services for over 40 years. Karen has had extensive involvement in implementation science and best practices, knowledge utilization, dissemination, program replication, and scale-up.  She  received her doctorate in Developmental and Child Psychology from the University of Kansas with a focus on school-based interventions and services for high needs children and youth.. Her work at Father Flanagan's Boys Home included working extensively with agencies and governments in 13 states and 2 Canadian provinces to establish evidence-based services. She has been engaged in effective scale-up of evidence-based practices, implementation capacity building, and systems change employing the Active Implementation Frameworks. As part of a research team, Karen was involved in completing a major review and synthesis of the implementation literature. This extensive review is providing guidance for the adoption, utilization, and scale-up of evidence-based programs and practices. For more information, see Implementation Research: A Synthesis of the Literature. Her current interests include the application of implementation science to civic engagement and social justice initiatives.

Interviewee Courtney Luecking

Courtney began her doctoral training in the Nutrition Department at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014. Prior to that she earned dual Master's degrees from Saint Louis University in Nutrition and Public Health, Courtney is also a Registered Dietitian with clinical, community, and research experience. Her research interests center on identifying mechanisms of change and supportive implementation strategies for health promotion and prevention interventions focused on nutrition and physical activity. She also has a strong interest in the influence of communication on health behaviors. Her dissertation aims to quantify the fidelity to implementation of a newly developed social marketing campaign to help early care and education providers and parents partner to promote healthy eating and active play among preschool-aged children. This information will then be used to specify how the campaign worked, for whom it worked, and under what conditions the campaign was successful so that an enhanced implementation strategy may be tested for increasing the level of parent involvement with the campaign.

Lessons Learned from Implementation Science Networks

Named by Reuters as one of the most influential scientific minds of our time, this week’s guest wears many hats and pursues all kinds of surprising interests. Jeremy Grimshaw has earned a global reputation for translating evidence into genuine changes that improve human health. He’s a Professor of Medicine at the University of Ottawa, President of the global Campbell Collaboration and a long-time Cochrane luminary. And as Ray discovers, he can make complex behavioural science, obscure music festivals and Formula 1 racing the most comfortable of companions in the course of just one lively conversation. Here, Jeremy closes out series 2 of the Recommended Dose with his original insights into health and social sciences research, and throws in some top musical tips for good measure.
