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!

A timeline titled "The Golden Age of Antibiotics" shows when each antibiotic drug class was first available for medical use, with example antibiotics labeled. Classes are color-coded by their source: actinomycetes, other bacteria, fungi, or synthetic. Milestones include the first antibiotics (arsphenamines in 1910), as well as the discovery of many actinomycetes-derived antibiotics, such as streptomycin, and sulfonamides, penicillins, and tetracyclines. Data: Hutchings, Truman, Wilkinson (2019). Created by Saloni Dattani for Our World in Data.

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

Taylor Watterson @wattersontl.bsky.social · Dec 10

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.

Human Behaviour Change - APRICOT @hbcproject.bsky.social · Nov 15

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! 🍑

A textpost saying: What's new? 1. Expanding and improving the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology. 2. Developing user-friendly tools to make ontologies accessible to everyone. 3. Building new ways to connect with researchers

A photo titled "Who's involved" with 9 researchers (from left to right: Paulina Schenk, Janna Hastings, Marta Marques, Bill Hogan, Colbie Reed, Maya Braun, Susan Michie, Robert West, Carolina Silva) posing. It also contains the logos of the involved insitutions: The Medical College of Wisconsin, University College London, University of Zürich and NOVA University in Lisbon
