Introduction
One of the cornerstones of implementation science is the use of theory.
Unfortunately, the vast number of tools available in the implementation science toolkitcan make it difficult to determine which is the most appropriate to address or frame aresearch question.
There are dozens of theories, models, and frameworks used in implementationscience that have been developed across a wide range of disciplines, and more arepublished each year.
Bridging research and practice: models for dissemination and implementation research
Making sense of implementation theories, models, and frameworks
Two recent reviews provide schemas to organize implementation science theories,models, and frameworks and narrow the range of choices:
Reviews
Construct flexibility Focus on dissemination and/or implementation activities Socio-ecological framework level
Tabak et al’s schema organizes 61 dissemination andimplementation (D&I) models based on three variables: 1.2.3.

Per Nilsen’s schema sorts implementation sciencetools into five categories: 1.2.3.4.5.
