Resource

Overview

Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies (StaRI) checklist [12]

Guides the transparent and accurate reporting of primary implementation studies

Its use enables the clear distinction between evidence-based interventions and implementation strategies, and the identification as an implementation study in an abstract, title and/or keywords

‘Implementation science’ subject heading

Facilitates the identification of implementation science literature within systematic searches

Recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies [13]

Enhances the specification and reporting of implementation strategies

Behaviour change technique (BCT) taxonomy [14]

Utilised to consistently describe implementation strategy components

Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) compilation [15]

Utilised to consistently describe and/or categorise implementation strategies

Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced (FRAME) [16]

Facilitates the tracking and reporting of adaptations and modifications to evidence-based interventions

Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced—Implementation Strategies (FRAME-IS) [17]

Facilitates the tracking and reporting of adaptations and modifications to implementation strategies

TIDieR checklist [18]

Guides the comprehensive reporting of evidence-based interventions

Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-effectiveness Spectrum (RITES) [19]

Tool that characterises randomised trials included in a systematic review on an efficacy (explanatory)-effectiveness (pragmatic) continuum

Proctor et al.’s Implementation Outcomes Framework [20]

Specifies and defines implementation outcomes

RE-AIM Framework [21]

Specifies and defines implementation outcomes

Implementation Outcomes Repository

https://implementationoutcomerepository.org/

Resource that can assist implementation researchers and stakeholders to search for quantitative implementation outcome instruments
