IPHAM's Center for Food Allergy & Asthma Research to Partner on Data Commons Project

FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), the world’s leading food allergy research, advocacy and education organization, today announced a data commons partnership with IPHAM's Center for Food Allergy and Asthma Research (CFAAR). Due to constant innovation in the field of health and biomedical informatics, it is now possible for researchers across the globe to share data and collaborate on secure and efficient platforms. These platforms, known as data commons, are collections of standardized data available in a common interface for download and/or analysis.

“Allowing stakeholders all over the globe to input and access data that can help answer critical questions around the development and progression of food allergies, the severity of symptoms, and the mechanisms that promote tolerance is a game-changing development in food allergy research.”

-- Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, director of CFAAR

"Implementation and Modification of a Culturally Competent Care Intervention"

Health Communication Research Seminar
February 26, 2020


Speakers: Modifications to interventions have the potential to jeopardize intervention outcomes. In this talk, we describe a two-site comparative case study detailing the implementation of Northwestern Medicine’s® Hispanic Kidney Transplant Program (HKTP). Using interviews and discussions over the pre-implementation and implementation periods, we examine the different types of modifications that occurred (e.g., adding, tailoring, skipping). Drawing from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we illustrate why different types of modifications were made and note the implications for healthcare management and implementation science.
