Break It to Fix It: Redesigning Youth Interventions and Implementation In School

Vaughan Collins, Isabell Griffith Fillipo, Ryan Allred, Kat Bruzios, and Tricia Aung

Panel on methodological approaches used during the Discover phase of the Discover, Design/Build, Test (DDBT) framework that draws from human-centered design and implementation science. These methods engage relevant actors in focus groups, usability evaluation, and task-based user testing that facilitate the identification of multilevel factors that drive usability, engagement, and contextual fit problems to guide redesign for real-world school impact.

Tracking Costs and Fidelity of Applying Human-Centered Design to Evidence-Based Practice Implementation

Alex Dopp, Sean Munson, Tricia Aung, Kat Bruzios, Brittany Blanchard, Caitlin Mayotte, Vaughan Collins, Ryan Allred, Katie Osterhage, Aaron Lyon

This poster details surveys that measure the activities completed (fidelity) and resources involved (costs) in completing phases of the Discover, Design/Build, and Test (DDBT) framework, including data from active UW ALACRITY Center projects. Data from these surveys can help inform feasibility and scalability of human-centered design in implementation research and practice.

Thank you to everyone who engaged and asked great questions!
