Misconception: Implementation Science Studies Interventions

Captions available

The idea

Implementation science studies how practices get taken up, not whether the practices work. Its outcomes are adoption, fidelity and sustainment, not clinical efficacy.

In practice

A study of why a proven practice was adopted here and not there.

Where people slip

The literature it produces is about uptake. Reading it for evidence about the intervention itself answers the wrong question.
