Real-world application and implementation of evidence-based practice continue to be a challenge across multiple sectors, including behavioral health settings. Providing the opportunity for future researchers and practitioners to gain capacity and knowledge through structured experiential learning in implementation science is critical to closing the research to practice gap. The Institute for Translational Research Education in Adolescent Drug Abuse (ITRE) is a graduate certificate program that offers specific coursework, a large-scale service-learning project based in the community, and mentorship related to implementation science research and practice. The purpose of this evaluation was to examine, from the perspective of ITRE scholars, the perceived impact on the development of professional research and practice skills once graduated from the ITRE program. Fifty-eight semi-structured interviews across five cohorts were selected randomly for in-depth thematic analysis ( = 58). Results suggest that the ITRE provides a unique approach grounded in implementation science for building robust and transferable skills for future researchers and practitioners working in a variety of behavioral healthcare settings.
在包括行为健康领域在内的多个部门，循证实践的实际应用和实施仍然是一项挑战。为未来的研究人员和从业者提供机会，通过实施科学方面的结构化体验式学习来提升能力和知识，对于弥合研究与实践之间的差距至关重要。青少年药物滥用转化研究教育研究所（ITRE）是一个研究生证书项目，提供特定的课程、基于社区的大规模服务学习项目，以及与实施科学研究和实践相关的指导。本评估的目的是从ITRE学者的角度，考察从ITRE项目毕业对专业研究和实践技能发展的感知影响。从五个队列中随机选取了58次半结构化访谈进行深入的主题分析（n = 58）。结果表明，ITRE为未来在各种行为医疗环境中工作的研究人员和从业者提供了一种基于实施科学的独特方法，以培养强大且可转移的技能。
