Research approaches & study designs

Implementation science is focused on closing this gap.

Know-do gap; or practice gap.

100

This is an example of a minor and "usually OK" adaptation.

Changing the language, pictures, cultural indicators, or other content in an EBI; or changing the name of a program/EBI.

100

This type of a TMF is explanatory -- which is to say, there are relationships between its concepts (arrows).

Theory/theories

100

The extent to which an evidence-based intervention is maintained or institutionalized within a setting’s ongoing, stable operations.

Sustainment

100

A strength of this methodologic/data collection approach is its emphasis on reproducibility and generalizability.

Quantitative methods.

200

This is "the thing" around which implementation science is centered.

An evidence-based intervention (EBI); or an evidence-based practice (EBP)

200

A term we use to label adaptations that preserve core elements that are needed for an EBI to be effective.

Fidelity-consistent / fidelity consistency

200

This type of a TMF is useful for understanding/ explaining influences on implementation outcomes.

Determinant frameworks

200

The extent to which an evidence-based intervention can be successfully used or carried out within a given agency or setting.

Feasibility

200

This is the "gold standard" for assessing if an implementation strategy changes outcomes.

A randomized trial.

300

These are "the things we do to get people/organizations to do the thing"

Implementation strategies
300

There is a well-acknowledged tension between adaptation and this.

Fidelity.

300

This is the tool that maps TDF/COM-B constructs to specific strategies.

The Behavior Change Wheel.

300

The degree to which an evidence-based intervention was implemented as it was prescribed / intended.

Fidelity

300

This is an example research question during the Preparation (or, pre-implementation) stage.

What are barriers/facilitators to implementation? or, What EBI adaptations are needed?

400

The very top of the evidence pyramid.

Systematic reviews & meta-analyses

400

An example of a tool to report adaptations to EBIs and/or to strategies.

FRAME; or ADAPT-ITT

400

The 5 domains of CFIR are what.

Innovation; Outer setting; Inner setting; Individuals; Implementation Processes

400

The integration of an evidence-based intervention within a service setting and its subsystems.

Penetration/Reach

400

A study about the performance of an implementation strategy and the impact of this strategy on an EBI's reach, adoption, fidelity, and/or other implementation outcomes is called this.

A hybrid type 3 study

500

This strategy is defined as "Collect and summarize clinical performance data over a specified time period and give it to clinicians and administrators to monitor, evaluate, and modify provider behavior"

Audit & provide feedback

500

This tool can help you plan & decide on adaptations.

Iterative Decision-making for Evaluation of Adaptations (IDEA)

500

RE-AIM stands for what.

Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance

500

Perception that an evidence-based intervention is agreeable, palatable, or satisfactory.

Acceptability

500

This is a downside of a post only within-site design.

There is no comparison group.
