We tested EHR nudges (defaults + accountable justification) to increase low tidal volume ventilation across 12 ICUs.
No overall effect—but variation across sites.
Lesson: context is queen. 👑 Nudges don’t work in a vacuum. 🔍

Big ? in #impsci: not just does facilitation work—but how? In our mixed‑methods study, adaptive reserve didn’t mediate facilitation’s effect on reach. Qual data pointed to other mechanisms—buy‑in, reminders, sensemaking, relationships 🔍🧩https://t.co/qPphWq26XS @ImplementSci

Systemic inequities hinder HIV care for marginalized communities. This study, led by @GeorgeMasonU Dr. Amanda Sanchez, explores how a behavioral intervention can support adherence and retention—when paired with structural change and dignity-centered care. https://t.co/XuH3E9ertJ

[Rinad Beidas, PhD @Rsbeidas]

Many reasons for concern, but what keeps me up at night? The impact on early career researchers (ECRs). We must identify ways to support ECRs via foundations, philanthropy, new partnerships with industry, and creating more embedding opportunities (e.g., health systems).
