Type I Hybrid Trials
Seminar hosted by Penn experts offers a fireside chat on Type I hybrid implementation trials and their role in advancing maternal health research and improving outcomes
AMETHIST investigators have developed resource documents to support the work of maternal health researchers in topics related to implementation science study design and methodology, policy and communications, and community engagement. Recordings of past workshops, seminars, trainings, and forums on these topics are available individually below and externally on our YouTube Channel.
