TLDR
An overview of Implementation Science, including its frameworks, tools, and strategies, and how they can inform the response to HIV/AIDS is provided, and examples using newer models are presented.Abstract:
Background: Disparities in the incidence and mortality of HIV/ AIDS persist, challenging researchers, practitioners, and communities to develop improved strategies to reach vulnerable and marginalized populations. Methods: The emerging field of Implementation Science, with its focus on context, external validity, and innovative design approaches, is well suited to respond to this challenge. We provide an overview of Implementation Science, including its frameworks, tools, and strategies, and how they can inform the response to HIV/AIDS. Results: We summarize pioneering Implementation Science frameworks, and then present examples using newer models, including RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness/Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) and the Evidence Integration Triangle, a framework for combining research and practice using participatory and adaptive processes in a multilevel context. Conclusions: Although still developing, the international field of Implementation Science can offer helpful perspectives for facilitating the more rapid integration of HIV/AIDS research, practice, and policy.read more

An Evidence Integration Triangle for Aligning Science with Policy and Practice
TL;DR: The EIT model is a straightforward framework to guide practice, research, and policy toward greater effectiveness and is designed to be applicable across multiple levels-from individual-focused and patient-provider interventions, to health systems and policy-level change initiatives.

HIV Self-Testing among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) in the UK: A Qualitative Study of Barriers and Facilitators, Intervention Preferences and Perceived Impacts.
TL;DR: The acceptability of HIVST among MSM in the context of known barriers and facilitators to testing for HIV is explored; assess preferences for, and the concerns about, HIVST are assessed; and values and preferences for HIVST interventions targeting MSM are understood.

HIV, tuberculosis, and noncommunicable diseases: what is known about the costs, effects, and cost-effectiveness of integrated care?
TL;DR: Clinical outcomes and costs of care for NCDs among people living with HIV in LMICs will help to prioritize specific health care services by contributing to an understanding of the affordability and implementation of an integrated approach.

A systematic review of health service interventions to improve linkage with or retention in HIV care
TL;DR: Evidence that interventions based on supporting patient self-management improves linkage to, and possibly retention in, care is shown, and interventions aimed at delivery service design may also be effective, although evidence was limited.

Implementation Research for the Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission in Sub-Saharan Africa: Existing Evidence, Current Gaps, and New Opportunities.
TL;DR: A greater emphasis on context, fidelity, and scalability—in the design and dissemination of study results—would greatly enhance current efforts and provide the necessary foundation for future evidence-based programs.

Evaluating the public health impact of health promotion interventions: the RE-AIM framework.
TL;DR: A model for evaluating public health interventions that assesses 5 dimensions: reach, efficacy, adoption, implementation, implementation and maintenance is proposed (termed the RE-AIM model).

Why don't we see more translation of health promotion research to practice? Rethinking the efficacy-to-effectiveness transition.
TL;DR: This work addresses the assumption that effectiveness research naturally and logically follows from successful efficacy research, and offers recommendations to help close the gap between efficacy and effectiveness research and to guide evaluation and possible adoption of new programs.
