A comparison of in-person and online training in a statewide clinical education program for dissemination of HIV, HCV and STD clinical evidence.
This study compared in-person and online training for dissemination of clinical evidence of HIV, HCV, and STD. The study used 250 clinicians completing four training courses in dual formats over a three-month period. Online training was the preferred format by clinicians.

Screening for hepatitis B infection in pregnant women: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
In this research letter, the authors described their evidence update conducted to inform the USPSTF in updating its 2009 recommendation. They found that targeted resources are needed to ensure that case management is effectively implemented through health care that reaches vulnerable populations most at risk of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV), including women born in countries where HBV is endemic. They concluded that improving access to prenatal care, screening, and case management are among the strategies to help eliminate perinatal HBV infection in the United States.

Longitudinal assessment of the association between implementation strategy use and the uptake of hepatitis C treatment: year 2.
The goal of the evaluation described in this article was to assess how site-level implementation strategies from providers in the VA’s Hepatitis Innovation Team (HIT) Collaborative were associated with hepatitis C (HCV) treatment initiation and how the use of these strategies changed over time. Key HCV providers at each of the 130 VA sites was asked in two consecutive fiscal years to complete an online survey which examined the use of 73 implementation strategies; providers reported on whether or not the use of each implementation strategy was due to the HIT Collaborative. The number of veterans initiating treatment for HCV at each site was captured using national data. The strategies that were more likely to be used in the second year included promoting adaptability, sharing knowledge between sites, tailoring strategies to deliver HCV care, and using mass media. The total number of veterans initiating treatment was positively correlated with the total number of strategies used in both years. The authors conclude that their results suggest the measuring of implementation strategies over time is a useful way to catalog implementation of evidence-based practices over time and over multiple settings.
