Library

We have compiled a library of articles and organized them by their practical use for the development of a research proposal/protocol.

Asking a good question

  • The question of the question: impactful implementation science to address the HIV epidemic (link)

Choosing a study objective

  • Effectiveness-implementation Hybrid Designs (link)
  • Proposing the observational–implementation hybrid approach: designing observational research for rapid translation (link)

Building a conceptual framework

  • The Implementation Research Logic Model: a method for planning, executing, reporting, and synthesizing implementation projects (link)

Choosing the implementation strategies to address the implementation determinants to achieve the implementation outcomes:

(1) Identify the implementation outcomes you want to achieve:

  • Outcomes for Implementation Research: Conceptual Distinctions, Measurement Challenges, and Research Agenda (link)

(2) Identify implementation determinants (i.e., barriers and facilitators):

  • Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR):
    • - Fostering implementation of health services research findings into practice: a consolidated framework for advancing implementation science (link)
    • - The updated Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research based on user feedback (link)

(3) Select appropriate implementation strategies to address the determinants to achieve the desired outcomes:

  • Implementation strategies: recommendations for specifying and reporting (link)
  • ERIC strategies:
    • - A refined compilation of implementation strategies: results from the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) project (link)
    • - Use of concept mapping to characterize relationships among implementation strategies and assess their feasibility and importance: results from the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) study (link)

Choosing a study design

  • Pre-implementation phase:
    • -  Formative research
  • Implementation phase:
    • -  Randomized studies
    • - The Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) and the Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART): New Methods for More Potent eHealth Interventions (link)
    • -  Selecting and Improving Quasi-Experimental Designs in Effectiveness and Implementation Research (link)
    • -  Observational studies

Documenting the implementation

  • The Longitudinal Implementation Strategy Tracking System (LISTS): feasibility, usability, and pilot testing of a novel method (link)
