What is Implementation Science?
It takes approximately 17 years for 14% of research evidence to be used in practice.
Implementation science aims to maximize the public health impact of interventions and reduce this research-practice gap by encouraging implementers and program creators to:
- Examine barriers and facilitators to a practice being used
- Pick strategies to work with facilitators and overcome barriers
- Plan for sustainable implementation from the project start
