  • Description:
    In the USA, structural racism contributes to higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) including hypertension, heart disease, and stroke among African American persons. Evidence-based interventions (EBIs), which include programs, policies, and practices, can help mitigate health inequities, but have historically been underutilized or misapplied among communities experiencing discrimination and exclusion. This commentary on the special issue of Prevention Science, "Advancing the Adaptability of Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Through Implementation Science," describes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention's (DHDSP's) efforts to support implementation practice and highlights several studies in the issue that align with DHDSP's methods and mission. This work includes EBI identification, scale, and spread as well as health services and policy research. We conclude that implementation practice to enhance CVD health equity will require greater coordination with diverse implementation science partners as well as continued innovation and capacity building to ensure meaningful community engagement throughout EBI development, translation, dissemination, and implementation.
