About the Course

This systematic review examines strategies to enhance the implementation of universal mental health prevention programs in schools. It identifies 22 strategies that effectively improve implementation outcomes such as fidelity and adoption. Key strategies include providing feedback, engaging principals as opinion leaders, fostering teacher buy-in, and organizing team meetings. The review highlights the need for further large-scale randomized controlled trials to establish best practices for sustainable program implementation. Practical implications encourage school staff to adopt tailored strategies while researchers are urged to explore underutilized areas in implementation science.

This course is based on the reading online article, Strategies for Enhancing the Implementation of Universal Mental Health Prevention Programs in Schools created by Rachel Baffsky et al in 2022.
