Overview

Strategies, in health and implementation research, are the deliberate plans and coordinated sets of actions designed to achieve defined goals, whether managing a condition, changing behaviour, controlling disease, or strengthening service delivery. They range from individual coping and treatment strategies to organisational and population-level approaches, and their study centres on identifying what works, for whom, and how interventions can be put into sustained practice. The research collected here reflects this diversity. Coping and therapeutic strategies appear in work on coping among mental-health providers, acceptance-and-commitment approaches for adolescents at risk of addiction, and resilience strategies among people with multiple sclerosis during the pandemic. Clinical management strategies are represented by analyses of risk factors and management in severe paediatric illness and by treatment strategies for immune thrombocytopenia after transplantation. Implementation and quality-improvement strategies feature in evaluations of healthcare quality initiatives and in the development of municipal decision-making tools to combat waterborne disease, while prevention and recruitment strategies are examined in HIV prevention studies and in efforts to promote the well-being of marginalised youth. Agricultural and veterinary control strategies extend the range, including fertiliser strategies and the control of tick infestations. Together these works express strategies as goal-directed, evidence-informed courses of action through which knowledge is translated into effective, durable practice across clinical, behavioural, and population settings.
