Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of incorporating social factors and power dynamics into existing models, theories, and frameworks (MTFs) of implementation research.
- A five-step process was employed to prioritize MTFs, leading to the identification of three exemplar MTFs aligned with key phases of the Knowledge-to-Action framework.
- The chosen MTFs, including the Iowa Model, Consolidated Framework, and Behavior Change Wheel, were evaluated based on criteria like acceptability, applicability, and usability.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving health equity by using a concept called intersectionality, which looks at how different social factors like race and gender work together in people's lives.
- A team of experts created and tested tools to make sure intersectionality is considered in health knowledge translation, which is how health information is shared and used.
- After testing the tools with users, they made them shorter and easier to understand, resulting in a final toolkit with six helpful documents.
Intersectionality is a widely adopted theoretical orientation in the field of women and gender studies. Intersectionality comes from the work of black feminist scholars and activists. Intersectionality argues identities such as gender, race, sexuality, and other markers of difference intersect and reflect large social structures of oppression and privilege, such as sexism, racism, and heteronormativity.

Article Synopsis
- A key goal of this study was to create a tool that incorporates intersectionality into the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), addressing barriers and facilitators in implementation processes connected to individual identities and power structures.
- An interdisciplinary committee used a modified Delphi approach to reach consensus on how to integrate intersectionality into the TDF, developing specific recommendations for each domain.
- The final output includes overarching considerations and prompts for guiding discussions, helping users better understand how social identities and power dynamics influence behavioral change and implementation of interventions.
