Research Interests
Dr. Hyzak is a trained Implementation Scientist focused on closing the research-to-practice pipeline gap for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Using mixed methodologies, her research applies implementation science to accelerate the adoption, reach, implementation, scalability, and sustained use evidence-based interventions in real world practice settings. Dr. Hyzak enjoys team-science approaches to answering system-level questions to improve the quality and effectiveness of care for individuals living with TBI.
Current Research
Dr. Hyzak is developing and investigating multilevel dissemination and implementation strategies targeted to the clinician, leadership, and organizational levels to advance the use of brain injury/neurologic-informed care in community-based mental health, substance use treatment, and social service settings.
