Going to Scale: Multisector Models for Dissemination

"Going to Scale: Multisector Models for Dissemination" is now available on the APA website. "Going to Scale" reports on the findings of a group of experts convened by APA and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) to examine and discuss the challenges faced by different sectors in bringing innovation to scale, examine successful strategies used in various fields to overcome these challenges, and make recommendations regarding activities CSAP can undertake to facilitate the adoption and dissemination of empirically validated innovations. Participants in the meeting included individuals with expertise in public health, transportation, environmental science, technology transfer, evaluation, agricultural extension, university-based research and development, juvenile justice, dissemination research, and substance abuse prevention.
