From: Advancing implementation science in community settings: the implementation strategies applied in communities (ISAC) compilation

Text box 1. Contributions to the literature

• Implementation strategies have primarily been operationalized and studied in clinical settings. Researchers and practitioners in community settings require relevant implementation strategies to integrate evidence-based primary prevention interventions.

• A new compilation developed through this study, ISAC (Implementation Strategies Applied in Communities), includes 16 novel strategies not reflected in current implementation strategy taxonomies (e.g., related to developing pragmatic, adaptable interventions and evaluation methods and using community-engaged processes).

• Based on existing literature and the results of the study, a four-step process with accompanying guidance tools was developed for selecting ISAC strategies to address implementation determinants and improve implementation outcomes.
