  • 'HIV/AIDS, Illness and African Well-Being' highlights the specific health problems facing Africa today, most particularly the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, the book presents not only various health crises, but also the larger historical and contemporary contexts within which they must be understood and managed. Chapters offering analysis of specific illness case studies, and the effects of globalization and underdevelopment on health, provide an overarching context in which HIV/AIDS and other health-related concerns can be understood. The contributions on the HIV/AIDS pandemic grapple with the complications of national and international policies, the sociological effects of the pandemic, and policy options for the future. 'HIV/AIDS, Illness and African Well-Being' thus provides a comprehensive view of health issues currently plaguing the continent and the many different ways that scholars are interpreting the health outlook in Africa.

  • Summary

    This chapter provides an overview of the science of implementation together with practical implementation frameworks and processes conceptualized through the work of the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). The recommendations for moving science to service are informed by a comprehensive review of the implementation evaluation and research literature across multiple domains and the resulting synthesis of the literature by Fixsen et al. from extensive reviews of diffusion and dissemination literature. The chapter highlights certain prerequisite conditions for making good use of science in the real world. In order for an evidence-based intervention to be well operationalized, the core intervention components must be clearly specified. The implementation stages describe the essential activities that occur during the planning and execution of implementation efforts in education and other human service settings. The implementation drivers are grouped into the following three domains: competency drivers, organization drivers, and leadership drivers.
