Factors Affecting Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices in Public Health Preparedness and Response.

Context: There is limited research on what factors are most salient to implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) among public health agencies in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHPR) and under what conditions EBP implementation will occur.

Objective: This study assessed the conditions, barriers, and enablers affecting EBP implementation among the PHPR practice community and identified opportunities to support EBP implementation.

Design: A Web-based survey gathered information from public health agencies.

The Campus Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative: Findings From Key Informant Interviews.

Addressing the widespread problem of sexual assault in college environments requires both prevention programming and policies addressing sexual misconduct in institutions of higher education. Through the Campus Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative, nine programs funded by the Office on Women's Health approached this problem within a network of eight to 13 campuses apiece, supported by national organizations and local task forces. Near the close of the 3-year project period (June 2016-June 2019), key informant interviews were conducted with project directors and campus representatives.
