This contributed volume brings together leading voices the field to demystify implementation research, define best practice, describe a clear framework for implementation, and illuminate solutions to the common pitfalls of such research. It speaks to the unique contexts of the CSD field such as sample sizes with considerable variability, diverse service delivery contexts, and positions in both medical and educational organizations. Each chapter includes objectives, real-world examples, sidebars to spur reflection, and a case study. A downloadable Resources Guide will be available to help readers learn more about this topic.
