A Vision for Health Equity: Applying a Health Equity Lens to Dissemination & Implementation Science
The 2018 D&I Short Course took place on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The Short Course provided a forum for researchers and community stakeholders to explore the emerging field of dissemination and implementation science through the lens of health equity with national and local experts. The course included interactive sessions that navigate the steps from concept, design, adaptation, and implementation in practice.

Dr. Leopoldo J. Cabassa is an Associate Professor at the Brown School of Social Work and Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)T-32 Training Program at the Center for Mental Health Services Research at Washington University in St. Louis. He received his M.S.W and Ph. D. from Washington University in St. Louis. Prior to joining the faculty at the Brown School, he was a faculty member at the University of Southern California and at Columbia University. His research blends quantitative and qualitative methods, implementation science, intervention research and community engagement to examine health disparities among racial/ethnic minorities with serious mental illness (SMI; e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder).
His work has been supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the New York State Office of Mental Health. He is currently leading an R01 from NIMH testing the effectiveness and examining the implementation of a peer-led healthy lifestyle intervention (Peer GLB) in supportive housing agencies serving diverse clients with SMI who are overweight or obese. Dr. Cabassa’s work is making significant contributions in improving depression literacy and reducing stigma towards mental illness in the Hispanic community, identifying and understanding racial/ethnic health disparities in people with serious mental illness, and examining the adaptation and implementation of health interventions aimed at reducing these health inequities. He teaches graduate level courses in research and evaluation methods, foundations of social work practice, mental health policy, implementation science, and social work with Latino populations. His is a fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine and the Society for Social Work and Research and a standing member of the Health Disparities and Equity Promotion study section of the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Glasgow focuses on issues of designing for implementation and sustainability, adaptations to programs, pragmatic models and measures, and the development of dissemination plans.

She is also an Affiliate Faculty of the UW Institute on Aging.
Dr. Mahoney received her medical degree at the University of California-San Francisco, and completed her medical residency and geriatric fellowship training at the UW. She is nationally recognized for her pioneering research in falls and novel interventions to reduce the incidence of falls in community-dwelling elderly as well as dissemination research on the ‘Stepping On’ falls prevention program which is now in use throughout Wisconsin and many states. Dr. Mahoney’s research has been supported by peer-reviewed grants from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), NIH and AHRQ.
Andrew Quanbeck, PhD
Dr. Quanbeck is an assistant professor in the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and an honorary associate of the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering. In 2014, he was selected to join the National Academy of Engineering’s Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, which brings together 100 of the nation’s leading engineers between the ages of 30-45 from industry, government, and academia to discuss cutting-edge engineering research.
Dr. Quanbeck’s research draws upon concepts from systems engineering in developing innovative approaches to the implementation of evidence-based practices in healthcare. His research focuses specifically on the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders in primary care settings. He is the principal investigator on two grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse: one is an R34 clinical trial planning grant aimed at promoting the adoption of clinical guidelines for opioid prescribing in primary care. The other is a mentored research scientist career award focused on the adoption of an evidence-based mobile health technology for substance use treatment in primary care settings. He has authored 25 peer-reviewed papers.
