A fascinating paper written by George Rust (Morehead) and Lisa Cooper (JHU) proposes an array of ways that practice research can be improved to provide information that can more rapidly and assuredly address health disparities. The suggestions range from those related to the make up of the research team, to new research designs, to strategies for implementing ESIs that include components at all levels of the social ecology. I highly recommend it.  The citation (not in APA format, I’m afriad) and url follow:
