Collaboration for Spread Handbook: An Approach to Guiding Spread of Successful Community-based Interventions

<p dir="ltr">This Collaboration for Spread Handbook grew out of our experiences in the IMPACT research program. The Innovative Models Promoting Access-to-Care Transformation (IMPACT) initiative was a five-year Canadian-Australian research program that provided an opportunity to build new and existing partnerships, programs, and research to co-create models of care that enhance access and ultimately improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations.</p><p dir="ltr">This Handbook is intended for people who are engaging in collaborative community-based research to advance primary healthcare (i.e., partners including health systems, community agencies, and researchers). The Handbook builds on existing knowledge and is intended to provide an initial introduction to community-based collaborative research. It will be of interest to all stakeholders involved in community-based collaborative research with particular emphasis on supporting researchers to collaborate. An intent of this Handbook is to promote better understanding of the knowledge, skill, and resource requirements needed to develop and sustain community-based research collaboration and partnerships.</p><p dir="ltr">This Handbook has an accompanying <b>Pop-Up Implementation Guide </b><a href="https://doi.org/10.26181/28622168" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.26181/28622168</a></p>
