摘要

Implementation strategies support the dissemination, adoption, and scaling of evidence-based programs and practices. Grouping implementation strategies into a small set of meaningful clusters helps guide and support implementation research and practice. This study used an empirically derived technique called Participatory Theme Elicitation to characterize the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) implementation strategies for use in implementation efforts in community-based behavioral health settings. Five clusters were identified using the Louvaine method and associated network diagram. The identified clusters of strategies were (1) Systems Change, (2) Funding and Fiscal Sustainability, (3) Community Engagement and Support, (4) Purveyor Support/Training & Technical Assistance, and (5) Monitoring and Evaluation. These five clusters present a simplified taxonomy that can be used in future research and practice.
