Implementation Science Across Disciplines

Implementation science can be employed by any discipline focused on improving human health and well-being through the delivery of services and evidence based practices intended to accomplish this goal. The focal areas listed below represent the broad array of fields and disciplines that use and produce implementation science. Under each tab below, you will find a selection of both open-access and subscription-required articles highlighting the relevance, state, or use of implementation science in that discipline. Be sure to explore what fields other than your own are doing - as Dr. Beth Prusaczyk reminds us, under the D&I science big tent, everyone benefits.

Open Access articles are marked with the ✪ symbol and free online resources are marked with the 💻 symbol. Please note that some articles will require a journal subscription to access the full text.
