Abstract
Background: Implementation science (IS) is an emerging discipline that offers frameworks, theories, measures, and interventions to understand both the effective organizational change processes and the contextual factors that affect how well an innovation operates in real-world settings.
Results: In this article, we present an overview of the basic concepts and methods of IS. We then present six studies where IS was used as a means to understand implementation of a new innovations designed to improve the health and well-being of individuals under criminal legal system supervision.
Conclusion: We discuss how IS has developed new knowledge on how to implement efficacious innovations and suggesting future research needed to further our understanding of implementation and sustainability of innovations in the legal context.
期刊介绍：
Health & Justice is open to submissions from public health, criminology and criminal justice, medical science, psychology and clinical sciences, sociology, neuroscience, biology, anthropology and the social sciences, and covers a broad array of research types. It publishes original research, research notes (promising issues that are smaller in scope), commentaries, and translational notes (possible ways of introducing innovations in the justice system). Health & Justice aims to: Present original experimental research on the area of health and well-being of people involved in the adult or juvenile justice system, including people who work in the system; Present meta-analysis or systematic reviews in the area of health and justice for those involved in the justice system; Provide an arena to present new and upcoming scientific issues; Present translational science—the movement of scientific findings into practice including programs, procedures, or strategies; Present implementation science findings to advance the uptake and use of evidence-based practices; and, Present protocols and clinical practice guidelines. As an open access journal, Health & Justice aims for a broad reach, including researchers across many disciplines as well as justice practitioners (e.g. judges, prosecutors, defenders, probation officers, treatment providers, mental health and medical personnel working with justice-involved individuals, etc.). The sections of the journal devoted to translational and implementation sciences are primarily geared to practitioners and justice actors with special attention to the techniques used.
