Aaron Kruse-Diehr, PhD, is an implementation scientist with expertise in iteratively applying combined determinants and outcomes frameworks, such as PRISM and RE-AIM, to behavioral health interventions in organizational settings. His primary research program focuses on increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among disparate populations (e.g., African Americans, rural Appalachian Kentuckians) in clinical and community sites by matching novel implementation strategies to stoolbased colorectal cancer screening interventions. Secondarily, he researches the implementation of diabetes patient self-management interventions that focus mainly on the mechanisms of peer support, tailored education, and patient needs related to social determinants of health.
