The Great Implementation Debate

The Prevention Research Collaboration and The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre convened an academic debate on the differences and similarities between ‘implementation’ and scaling-up health interventions.

Who is it for? Researchers, policymakers and practitioners interested in implementation and scale up of research and practice across population health settings.

The debate aimed to:

• Engage researchers and practitioners on the research nuances and challenges of implementing preventive health interventions
• Advance concepts and definitions in implementation science and scale up
• Support research collaboration across program implementation settings.

The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre’s implementation and scale up program aims to improve improving understanding of the implementation processes in practice, building capacity in implementation and scale up and developing resources for evidence-based preventive health interventions.
