Enhancing Mental and Physical Health of Women Veterans
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 20 VA facilities from 4 regions.

EBQI
EBQI is a systematic quality improvement method for engaging frontline practices in improvement that introduces "best science" and evidence in the service of operational goals. EBQI has been tested in several VA implementation trials. Sites randomized to EBQI will meet monthly with the implementation support team (i.e., high-intensity).
REP
The REP framework consists of 4 phases: pre-conditions, pre-implementation, implementation and maintenance/evolution. REP has a strong evidence-base and application in VHA health services research in promoting uptake of EBPs. Sites randomized to REP will meet quarterly with the implementation support team (i.e., low-intensity).
