Practical Implementation Science: Moving Evidence into Action

Practical Implementation Science: Moving Evidence into Action is a textbook for graduate health professional students and advanced undergraduates who want to learn the steps of using implementation science to improve public health. This first edition was published by Springer Publishing Company in 2022 as a 400-page paperback.

The chapters follow the steps of an implementation effort, from assessing the knowledge-practice gap and selecting an evidence-based practice to engaging stakeholders and evaluating the effort, and each takes a how-to approach to its task. The text also covers scaling up and sustaining evidence-based practices and de-implementing practices that are no longer effective. Every chapter includes learning objectives, Key Points for Practice, Common Pitfalls in Practice, and discussion questions.
