Implementation of evidence-based practice for alcohol and substance use disorders: protocol for systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whilst effective treatments exist for substance use and alcohol use disorders, they are not commonly practised. Studies have shown that only a small percentage of services provide evidence-based treatments such as addiction medications or psychosocial therapies. Although there is a growing body of literature on evidence-based treatment, no synthesis of research on the implementation of evidence-based addiction treatment exists. This proposed systematic review will synthesise and evaluate the effectiveness of implementation programmes in the treatment of patients with drug and alcohol problems using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) framework.

Methods

We will search (from inception onwards) PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web
