Lisa Juckett
PhD, OTR/L, CHT
Dr. Juckett’s research centers on bridging the gap between empirical discoveries and the use of these discoveries in real-world practice settings. Heavily informed by the field of implementation science, Dr. Juckett’s research examines the factors and strategies that influence evidence-based practice adoption, primarily in organizations that serve the older adult population. Specifically, Dr. Juckett’s work aims to develop and test “implementation strategies” that support the use of evidence-based practices in the areas of a) fall prevention and b) stroke rehabilitation. Active involvement of community and clinical stakeholders is a hallmark characteristic of Dr. Juckett’s research given their immensely valuable role in providing client-centered care to the older adults community.
