Addiction Science 

Dissemination and Implementation Lab 

Welcome! 

The Addiction Science Dissemination and Implementation Research Lab applies dissemination and implementation (D&I) science to understanding and improving the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of evidence-based prevention and treatment for substance use. Our primary work examines how college prevention experts select and adopt alcohol prevention strategies for their campuses, with the ultimate goal of developing and delivering support tools/programs to enhance the efforts of providers who work with college students. Additionally, our lab collaborates on projects to support providers across contexts. Other projects focus on improving access and reducing barriers for addiction prevention, treatment, and information among at-risk groups (e.g., college students, individuals with co-occurring mental health concerns), and embedding prevention into other areas of wellness, with a whole person approach. Our lab takes a community-based research approach and uses mixed-methodology designs.
