Webinar: Leo Cabassa, PhD, "Equity-Grounded Implementation Science: Exemplars from the Field“ Despite research and treatment advances in healthcare, the implementation of research evidence into practice remains a challenge, especially for historically marginalized populations. Despite numerous calls to action to integrate health equity into implementation science, little progress toward better integration of these approaches has been hampered by the theoretical and aspirational nature of calls-to-action up to the present time. In this talk we present three case examples from our work to illustrate how to synergize health equity research and implementation science focusing on the processes and practices located at the intersection of these fields. These three distinct studies focused on reducing mental health inequities in historically marginalized communities, namely Latino and Black individuals in mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico.
