3.2 Effectiveness and Implementation – Key Questions
Will my study be focused on effectiveness only, implementation only, or both effectiveness and implementation outcomes (suggesting a hybrid trial may be appropriate)?
- Clinical effectiveness trials only (no implementation outcomes)
- Implementation trial only (no health outcomes)
- Hybrid Type 1: Primary aim: clinical effectiveness. Secondary aim: context for implementation, acceptability, and feasibility
- Hybrid Type 2: Coprimary aims: clinical effectiveness and implementation (adoption, fidelity)
- Hybrid Type 3: Primary aim: utility of an implementation strategy. Secondary aim: clinical outcomes
