For decades scientists of diffusion of innovation have investigated why an innovation became widely adopted. Dr. LeCraw will describe real life experiences on how teams succeeded in their endeavor to get evidenced-based healthcare policies adopted at the local, state, and national levels. She will describe the obstacles they faced, why some teams failed, and techniques used to surmount obstacles to achieve widespread adoption of these policies. These strategies can also help researchers advance their career. Dr. LeCraw will also describe methods that mental health professionals use to help healthcare professionals manage stress. These techniques can be beneficial to researchers who are experiencing high levels of stress.
