Implementation Science and the Effective Delivery of Evidence-Based Prevention

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Defining Prevention Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Prevention Science ((Adv. Prevention Science))

Abstract

This chapter introduces the topic of implementation; its many phases including dissemination, diffusion and adoption, and sustainability; and those factors that have been found to influence progression along this continuum. Application and implications for prevention service delivery are also discussed. The exciting part about writing this chapter is the simultaneous, parallel emergence of two new scientific fields—prevention science and implementation science. This chapter is an attempt to integrate these two evolving fields.
