Content |
This mass lecture will focus on Implementation Science and why equity-focused implementation is critical for health, social care and educational outcomes, and will provide an overview of our SEMPRE program of research. |
This workshop focuses on embedding equity principles into program design, implementation, and evaluation. The workshop will introduce the steps of Intervention Mapping–Equity (IM-E) and provide opportunities for participants to consider how this structured approach can strengthen the intervention design work they currently undertake. By the end of the session, participants will have a clearer understanding of how to design and implement programs that promote fairness, reduce inequities, and improve outcomes for priority populations. |
This workshop examines why psychosocial and neuroscience-based interventions that demonstrate strong evidence often struggle to achieve real-world impact. Drawing on implementation science, it will explore how we design and evaluate interventions not only for effectiveness, but also for adoption, feasibility, and sustainability. The session will include extended discussion on the challenges and opportunities of implementing such interventions in education and mental health contexts. |
