  • Exploring implementation strategies in evidence-based open streets programs for promoting physical activity in the Americas

    Open AccessRaúl D Gierbolini-Rivera, Milena Franco Silva et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Chronic diseases are a leading public health concern in the Americas, and physical inactivity contributes significantly to their burden. Open streets program-community initiatives that temporarily close urban streets to vehicles-promote physical activity and community engagement, demonstrating positive health and social impacts. Effective implementation depends on identifying suitable strategies and frameworks. The Expert Recommenda…

  • Champion and audit and feedback strategy fidelity and their relationship to depression intervention fidelity

    Open AccessChris F Akiba, Vivian F Go et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    Background: Globally, mental health disorders rank as the greatest cause of disability. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) hold a disproportionate share of the mental health burden, especially as it pertains to depression. Depression is highly prevalent among those with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), creating a barrier to successful treatment. While some treatments have proven efficacy in LMIC settings, wide dissemination is challenged by…

  • Building a national framework for multicentre research and clinical trials

    Open AccessJohn O Olawepo, Echezona E Ezeanolue et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    There is limited capacity and infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa to conduct clinical trials for the identification of efficient and effective new prevention, diagnostic and treatment modalities to address the disproportionate burden of disease. This paper reports on the process to establish locally driven infrastructure for multicentre research and trials in Nigeria known as the Nigeria Implementation Science Alliance Model Innovation and Resea…

  • Strategy Configurations Directly Linked to Higher Hepatitis C Virus Treatment Starts

    Vera Yakovchenko, Edward J Miech et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2020References: 22

    BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cares for more patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) than any other US health care system. We tracked the implementation strategies that VA sites used to implement highly effective new treatments for HCV with the aim of uncovering how combinations of implementation strategies influenced the uptake of the HCV treatment innovation. We applied Configurational Comparative Methods (CCMs) to uncover c…

  • Implementation strategies for digital mental health interventions in health care settings

    Open AccessAndrea K Graham, Emily G Lattie et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2020References: 1

    U.S. health care systems are tasked with alleviating the burden of mental health, but are frequently under-prepared and lack workforce and resource capacity to deliver services to all in need. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) can increase access to evidence-based mental health care. However, DMHIs commonly do not fit into the day-to-day activities of the people who engage with them, resulting in a research-to-practice gap for DMHI impl…

  • Adapting a Compilation of Implementation Strategies to Advance School-Based Implementation Research and Practice

    Open AccessClayton R Cook, Aaron R Lyons et al.ARTICLEPrevention Science2019

  • Choosing implementation strategies to address contextual barriers

    Open AccessThomas J Waltz, Byron J Powell et al.ARTICLEImplementation Science2019

    BACKGROUND: A fundamental challenge of implementation is identifying contextual determinants (i.e., barriers and facilitators) and determining which implementation strategies will address them. Numerous conceptual frameworks (e.g., the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research; CFIR) have been developed to guide the identification of contextual determinants, and compilations of implementation strategies (e.g., the Expert Recommendations …

  • A research protocol for studying participatory processes in the use of evidence in child welfare systems

    Open AccessAllison Metz, Annette Boaz et al.ARTICLEEvidence & Policy2019Cited by: 1References: 4

    This paper presents a protocol for a funded study of technical assistance strategies used to support the use of evidence, and, in particular, how participatory processes contribute to the use of evidence to improve outcomes for populations. Findings from the study will increase understanding of the relationships between technical assistance, stakeholder participation and evidence use in child and family services. The authors argue that publishing…

  • Psychometric assessment of three newly developed implementation outcome measures

    Open AccessBryan J Weiner, Cara C Lewis et al.ARTICLEImplementation Science2017

    BACKGROUND: Implementation outcome measures are essential for monitoring and evaluating the success of implementation efforts. Yet, currently available measures lack conceptual clarity and have largely unknown reliability and validity. This study developed and psychometrically assessed three new measures: the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). MET…

  • Methods to Improve the Selection and Tailoring of Implementation Strategies

  • Use of concept mapping to characterize relationships among implementation strategies and assess their feasibility and importance

    Open AccessThomas J Waltz, Byron J Powell et al.ARTICLEImplementation Science2015

    BACKGROUND: Poor terminological consistency for core concepts in implementation science has been widely noted as an obstacle to effective meta-analyses. This inconsistency is also a barrier for those seeking guidance from the research literature when developing and planning implementation initiatives. The Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) study aims to address one area of terminological inconsistency: discrete implementation s…

  • A refined compilation of implementation strategies

    Open AccessByron J Powell, Thomas J Waltz et al.ARTICLEImplementation Science2015

    BACKGROUND: Identifying, developing, and testing implementation strategies are important goals of implementation science. However, these efforts have been complicated by the use of inconsistent language and inadequate descriptions of implementation strategies in the literature. The Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) study aimed to refine a published compilation of implementation strategy terms and definitions by systematically …

  • Implementation strategies

    Open AccessEnola K Proctor, Byron J Powell et al.ARTICLEImplementation Science2013

    Implementation strategies have unparalleled importance in implementation science, as they constitute the 'how to' component of changing healthcare practice. Yet, implementation researchers and other stakeholders are not able to fully utilize the findings of studies focusing on implementation strategies because they are often inconsistently labelled and poorly described, are rarely justified theoretically, lack operational definitions or manuals t…

  • Mental Health Clinicians' Experiences of Implementing Evidence-Based Treatments

    Byron J Powell, Carolina Hausmann‐Stabile et al.ARTICLEJournal of Evidence-Based Social…2013Cited by: 2References: 4

    Implementation research has tremendous potential to bridge the research-practice gap; however, we know more about barriers to evidence-based care than the factors that contribute to the adoption and sustainability of evidence-based treatments. In this qualitative study the authors explore the experiences of clinicians (N = 11) who were implementing evidence-based treatments, highlighting the factors that they perceived to be most critical to succ…

  • A Compilation of Strategies for Implementing Clinical Innovations in Health and Mental Health

    Open AccessByron J Powell, J Curtis McMillen et al.ARTICLEMedical Care Research and Review2012

    Efforts to identify, develop, refine, and test strategies to disseminate and implement evidence-based treatments have been prioritized in order to improve the quality of health and mental health care delivery. However, this task is complicated by an implementation science literature characterized by inconsistent language use and inadequate descriptions of implementation strategies. This article brings more depth and clarity to implementation rese…
