This workshop will provide an overview of Implementation Science principles and introduce key concepts, definitions, and most common implementation frameworks. The Strengthening Care for Children trial will be set as an example for participants to understand the implementation process of complex interventions. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the development of logic models and guided to develop their own to inform the implementation and process evaluation of their interventions.
