Evaluating the implementation of a before-school physical activity program: a mixed-methods approach in Massachusetts, 2018.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a widely available, before-school, physical activity program in a low-resource, racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse, urban school setting to identify adaptations needed for successful implementation. The investigators used a collaborative effort with stakeholders to implement the Build Our Kids' Success (BOKS) program in 3 schools in Revere, Massachusetts.

Hepatocellular carcinoma from epidemiology to prevention: Translating knowledge into practice.
The effectiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prevention in clinical practice and at the population level has lagged behind due to patient, provider, system, and societal factors. The authors suggest that the Quality in the Continuum of Cancer Care model provides a framework for evaluating the HCC prevention processes, including potential failures that create a gap between efficacy and effectiveness.
