To maximise the likelihood of health improvement, health policymakers must select evidence-based interventions, and utilise evidence-based strategies to implement them. While there has been considerable investment in the conduct of trials to evaluate the efficacy of physical activity and nutrition interventions, less attention has been paid to the development and testing of implementation strategies. Furthermore, ‘implementation trials’ that have been undertaken have been criticised for a lack of use of implementation theory or frameworks in strategy development, poor methodological quality and high risk of bias.
As many researchers express uncertainty regarding the appropriate methods to employ in the conduct of implementation trials, this webinar will provide methodological guidance for their conduct.
