Combining systems thinking approaches and implementation science constructs within community-based prevention: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Systems science offers methods for designing population health interventions while implementation science provides specific guidance for successful implementation. Integrating systems and implementation science may strengthen implementation and enhance and sustain systemic change to achieve system-level outcomes. Little is known about the extent to which these two approaches have been integrated to date. This review aimed to identify and synthesise the peer-reviewed literature that has reported the combined use of systems thinking approaches and implementation science constructs (within the same study), to deliver population health interventions.

Methods

A systematic literature search of peer-reviewed original research was conducted across six databases from 2009
