abstract: 'Global disparities in breast cancer outcomes are attributable to a

  sizable gap between evidence and practice in breast cancer control and

  management. Dissemination and implementation science (D\&IS) seeks to

  understand how to promote the systematic uptake of evidence-based

  interventions and/or practices into real-world contexts. D\&IS methods

  are useful for selecting strategies to implement evidence-based

  interventions, adapting their implementation to new settings, and

  evaluating the implementation process as well as its outcomes to

  determine success and failure, and adjust accordingly. Process models,

  explanatory theories, and evaluation frameworks are used in D\&IS to

  develop implementation strategies, identify implementation outcomes, and

  design studies to evaluate these outcomes. In breast cancer control and

  management, research has been translated into evidence-based,

  resource-stratified guidelines by the Breast Health Global Initiative

  and others. D\&IS should be leveraged to optimize the implementation of

  these guidelines, and other evidence-based interventions, into practice

  across the breast cancer care continuum, from optimizing public

  education to promoting early detection, increasing guideline-concordant

  clinical practice among providers, and analyzing and addressing barriers

  and facilitators in health care systems. Stakeholder engagement through

  processes such as co-creation is critical. In this article, the authors

  have provided a primer on the contribution of D\&IS to phased

  implementation of global breast cancer control programs, provided 2 case

  examples of ongoing D\&IS research projects in Tanzania, and concluded

  with recommendations for best practices for researchers undertaking this

  work.'
