New in @implementsci.bsky.social: We conducted a secondary analysis of 204 trials, revealing gaps in reporting implementation strategies and target HCP behaviors using TIDieR and AACTT. Structured reporting is essential for transparency & replication.

How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social

Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.

Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time?

So, I visualized it myself!

At the first ever D&I conference, I argued that we needed more theory but less theories. I stand by that and worry that the profusion of theories, models and frameworks is hindering progress by creating too much noise! @gfontaine.bsky.social
When thinking about the pace of #DIScience24 , how do we deal with distractions of new frameworks and models and desire to quickly build new catapults and bridges?
- @jhfordii.bsky.social

Such a good question! It’s tempting to follow the newest “perfect” framework and restart all over again.

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Big news! We're evolving: HBCP is now HBCP & APRICOT.

Good news – we have a 5-year NIH grant to expand the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology and make it more useful and useable.

Learn more about APRICOT: humanbehaviourchange.org

Stay tuned for updates! 🍑
