Glossary

The original publication(s) of the model.

Name of the construct developed by classifying/aligning the elements abstracted from models.

The definition/flexibility of the model constructs. Construct flexibility is measured on a 1-5 scale, with Broad (1) meaning constructs are loosely outlined and defined allowing for greater flexibility to apply the model to a wide array of D&I activities and contexts, or Operational (5) meaning constructs are detailed with step-by-step actions for completion of D&I research.

The focus on dissemination and/or implementation activities. D-only focuses on an active approach of spreading evidence-based interventions to target audience via determined channels using planned strategies. D=I, D>I, and I>D means there is some focus on both dissemination and implementation. I-only focuses on process of putting to use or integrating evidence-based interventions within a setting.

The definition of the construct.

Components abstracted from each model and aligned with the given construct.

Citations of studies that have use the model as an outline for their study.

The field of study in which the model originated.

External link to measures on the GEM site for the given construct.

Includes both theories and frameworks that enhance dissemination and implementation research by making the spread of evidence-based interventions more likely.

The number of models that include elements aligned with the given construct.

The # of times the original publication for the model was cited as indicated by Google Scholar since 2016.
