In this episode of Communicable, Angela Huttner and Josh Davis are joined by Brett Mitchell, Aline Wolfensberger and Lauren Clack to discuss the HAPPEN trial to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia led by Mitchell--and the important studies leading up to it [1-3]. The episode also explores trial designs used in their research that are both creative and practical, such as stepped-wedge and implementation trials, and how these approaches can bridge the gap between research and real-world practice.
