Mental health interventions for individuals with serious mental illness in the criminal legal system: a systematic review.

Background: Globally, individuals with mental illness get in contact with the law at a greater rate than the general population. The goal of this review was to identify and describe: (1) effectiveness of mental health interventions for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who have criminal legal involvement; (2) additional outcomes targeted by these interventions; (3) settings/contexts where interventions were delivered; and (4) barriers and facilitating factors for implementing these interventions.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted to summarize the mental health treatment literature for individuals with serious mental illness with criminal legal involvement (i.

Developing a typology of network alteration strategies for implementation: a scoping review and iterative synthesis.

Background: Social networks transmit knowledge, influence, and resources. These relationships among patients, professionals, and organizations can shape how innovations are disseminated, adopted, implemented, and sustained. Network alteration interventions-interventions that change or rewire social networks-have the potential to be used as implementation strategies.

"There's no money in community dissemination": A mixed methods analysis of researcher dissemination-as-usual.

Background: The field of dissemination and implementation science has the potential to narrow the translational research-to-practice gap and improve the use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) within community-based settings. Yet, foundational research related to dissemination efforts, such as understanding researcher attitudes, practices, and the determinants to sharing research findings, is lacking within extant literature.

Methods: A sequential explanatory (QUANqual) mixed methods design was used to examine 85 academic researchers' perspectives and self-reported dissemination methods used to share research outcomes with community stakeholders to better understand researcher's usual dissemination practices (referred to as ).

Integrating Mixed Methods Social Network Analysis to Assess Community-Academic Partnerships.

Background: Community-academic partnerships (CAPs) in public health are increasingly utilized to integrate community voice into decision-making processes of health-related interventions, programs, and practice. However, community partners' collaboration experiences remain understated in the literature. Thus, there is a need to further advance methodological approaches that examine the effectiveness of CAPs, while also highlighting community voice to, ultimately, improve public health outcomes.

Belonging to Something Greater Than Self: Flint Women Giving Back to the Community.

Background: Having meaning in life promotes happiness and well-being across the lifespan.

Methods: A community-based participatory qualitative study was conducted to understand meaning in life, having a voice and the different ways women give back to their community by serving others. Interviews were held with participants (n = 100) who were community residents, people serving women, or both.

Community-based implementation strategy use and satisfaction: A mixed-methods approach to using the ERIC compilation for organizations serving children on the autism spectrum.

Background: Despite efforts to use standardized taxonomy and research reporting, documenting implementation strategies utilized in community settings remains challenging. This case study demonstrates a practical approach to gather use of and satisfaction with implementation strategies utilized within community-based sites to understand community providers' perspectives of implementing an early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) for children on the autism spectrum across different settings.

Methods: Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, survey and interview data were collected from directors/supervisors and direct providers ( = 26) across three sites (one university and two community-based replication sites).

Implementation-as-Usual in Community-Based Organizations Providing Specialized Services to Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Mixed Methods Study.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. ASD community-based organizations (ASD-CBOs) underutilize or inconsistently utilize evidence-based practices (ASD-EBPs) despite numerous available EBPs to treat ASD. Nonetheless, ASD-CBOs implement changes to practices regularly.
