Summary:

This case study was part of a broader research project focused on health equity. It aimed to advance the understanding of cancer disparities in underserved communities. Scholars in public health state that these populations should be a priority because there are evidenced-based interventions that would avoid advanced stages of diagnosis they present. This study is anchored in a transdisciplinary framework composed of social sciences, applied disciplines, and public health perspectives capable of addressing the roots of inequities. The research was conducted in Argentina with a design based on long-term community-based participatory research. This includes many cycles, one of them a dissemination and implementation science cycle (D+I) aiming at tiny but concrete transformations at the healthcare centers that were part of the research. Scholars in the D+I field warn that the road from evidence to implementation in routine practices is not an easy, quick, or linear process. In the cancer field, it's a challenge to reduce the existing burden among population groups. This growing but still young field in public health, especially in low- and middle-income countries, is described as the study of methods that promote the systematic incorporation of evidence-based interventions into routine health practices and highlights the well-known gap between research and practice (Parascandola, 2019). We selected the Exploration, Adoption/Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment framework (Aarons et al., 2011). It proposes four phases that provide a conceptual framework for considering challenges and opportunities in healthcare interventions. This chapter is focused on this preliminary experience.
