Implementing Sustainable Evidence-based interventions through Engagement Lab (ISEE) is focused on assessing factors that are essential to scale up of evidence-based intervention (EBI) to achieve optimal health outcomes by engaging communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Our research areas include:
- Implementing interventions to improve the lives of people living with Sickle Cell Disease
- Establishing the connections between comorbidities, HIV/AIDS Syndemic, and health outcomes; determine targets for implementation of EBI for people living with HIV/AIDS and comorbidities
- Assessing and implementing interventions to improve outcomes for Obstetric Hemorrhage and Maternal Health
- Advancing the science of implementation research via instrument development
ISEE strives to understand the why, where, and how evidence-based interventions are adopted and maintained by some communities and not others in LMIC. Because context is important to consider in global health, approaching interventions with cultural sensitivity and collaborating with in-country partners is essential to engagement. Our research is based on well-studied implementation research principles, theories, and frameworks.
