MindLabs - Introduction to Implementation Science

Overview of the workshop and myself:

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.

Facilitator

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the key principles, terminology, and definitions of Implementation Science.
• Learn about the most common Implementation models and frameworks.
• Identify factors moderating the implementation of interventions.
• Understand the process for evaluating the implementation of interventions.
• Develop skills to design a logic model to inform the implementation and evaluation of interventions.
