Use of implementation science in tobacco control intervention studies in the USA between 2000 and 2020: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite continuing efforts to reduce tobacco use in the USA, decline in smoking rates have stalled and smoking remains a major contributor to preventable death. Implementation science could potentially improve uptake and impact of evidence-based tobacco control interventions; however, no previous studies have systematically examined how implementation science has been used in this field. Our scoping review will describe the use of implementation science in tobacco control in the USA, identify relevant gaps in research and suggest future directions for implementation science application to tobacco control.

Methods and analysis

Our team, including a medical research librarian, will conduct a scoping review guided primarily by Arksey and O'Malley's methodology. We
