Implementation Mechanisms: What Makes Implementation Work and Why?

The 4th SIRC conference marks the start of a series on Mechanisms of Implementation: What Works and Why? This theme was chosen because it seems tailored approaches to implementation outperform standardized, but there are no clear methods for informing tailored protocols. Consequently, strategies are often mismatched to barriers (e.g., intrapersonal/individual level strategy like training used to address organizational level barrier like poor culture) and implementation interventions (i.e., multifaceted or blended protocols derived of discrete strategies) are increasingly complex and costly without enhance impact. This problem of how best to tailor implementation strategies requires a 2-part solution. More information about this conference is available here.
