A synthesis of implementation science frameworks and application to global health gaps.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implementation science has been growing as discipline in the past decades, producing an increasing number of models in the area. On the other hand, most frameworks are intended to guide the implementation of programs, focusing on identifying elements and stages that increase their success.
