【 摘 要 】

The field of implementation science has seen an accumulation of theories, models and frameworksin the past years. However, few empirical studies are informed by them (1), and when informed,few clearly describe how they applied the frameworks in the study (2). The study by Quinn etal. (3) provides an exception to this rule and gives us an example of how to use the Reach,Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) (4) framework in theirstudy of a consortium of 11 sites in low middle income countries (LMIC). Instead of focusing onone study at a time, a consortium can advance the field by having common metrics across differentsettings, providing an unique opportunity for theory testing [e.g., (5, 6)].
