A primary goal of implementation science (IS) is to promote access to evidence-based treatments; however, without careful attention to equity, IS may inadvertently reify inequities for the most vulnerable. This keynote will discuss methods and a case example for addressing and evaluating equitable implementation in the context of a program of research on the Family Check-Up® 4 Health (FCU4Health) behavioral parenting program. FCU4Health is an individually tailored preventive intervention for delivery in integrated and coordinated primary care settings. Data will be presented from a Type 2 effectiveness-implementation hybrid studies conducted with multiple primary care evaluated using the RE-AIM framework's extension for health equity. Quantitative details about adoption and maintenance are supplemented with descriptions of implementation determinants, provided by partners at each site The results provide an exemplar of how the RE-AIM equity extension can be applied to assess the ability of EBTs to promote equitable implementation in routine care settings.
Learning Objectives:
List the indicators of equitable implementation.
Describe the RE-AIM extension for health equity.
See the application of a health equity research paradigm in action.
