Dissemination and Implementation Toolkit

The Dissemination and Implementation Toolkit is a resource for anyone who is interested in implementing a change in their work. With this collection of resources, we aim to provide educational information on the implementation process and connect you with additional resources and information to help you be successful in the implementation of best practices for substance-focused prevention, treatment, and recovery practices.

The resources are organized within the four processes of the commonly-used implementation framework, EPIS Framework (Moullin et al., 2019).

How To Formulate a Training or Technical Assistance Request

As an organization or program seeking to improve staff capacity and/or some aspect of your programming, the process of determining the kind of support to request from a training and technical assistance (TTA) provider can often seem ambiguous. In many instances, the kind of support necessary to facilitate the desired improvement is unknown and therefore it will often be difficult to formulate a specific ask for support. Similarly, you may be uncertain as to the kind of support TTA providers can provide, which may leave you hesitant to make a specific request.
