Additional Topics

Below are several topics that we have identified as important to highlight within the field of implementation science and research, along with a selection of resources for more information in each topic.

Barriers & Facilitators

This toolkit includes a decision tree to help you identify which approach to barrier and facilitator measurement may be most relevant to your research, in-depth reviews of multiple-and single-factor measurement tools, and examples of barriers and facilitators that have been identified in various service settings and clinical contexts.

The Center for Implementation published an article named "5 practical tips for mapping barriers and facilitators to an implementation framework" to grow awareness and understanding of the importance of collecting barriers and facilitators data and mapping it to an implementation framework.
