Dissemination and Implementation Science Approaches for Occupational Safety and Health Research: Implications for Advancing Total Worker Health. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2021, 18, 11050.http://hdl.handle.net/10919/105642Total Worker Health<i>^®</i> (TWH), an initiative of the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, is defined as policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-related health and safety hazards by promoting efforts that advance worker well-being. Interventions that apply the TWH paradigm improve workplace health more rapidly than wellness programs alone. Evidence of the barriers and facilitators to the adoption, implementation, and long-term maintenance of TWH programs is limited. Dissemination and implementation (D&amp;I) science, the study of methods and strategies for bridging the gap between public health research and practice, can help address these system-, setting-, and worker-level factors to increase the uptake, impact, and sustainment of TWH activities. The purpose of this paper is to draw upon a synthesis of existing D&amp;I science literature to provide TWH researchers and practitioners with: (1) an overview of D&amp;I science; (2) a plain language explanation of key concepts in D&amp;I science; (3) a case study example of moving a TWH intervention down the research-to-practice pipeline; and (4) a discussion of future opportunities for conducting D&amp;I science in complex and dynamic workplace settings to increase worker safety, health, and well-being.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereed2021-10-22https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182111050
