A

Assess
Section of the tool that provides access to assessments including measures, checklists, and others. [D&I GEM is currently unavailable and we are working to problem solve a new way to link to assessments/measures.]

B

C

Citations
The original publication(s) of the TMF.

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

Construct Flexibility
The definition/flexibility of the TMF 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 TMF 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.

D

D &/or I
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.

Definition
The definition of the construct

E

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

Elements
Components abstracted from each TMF and aligned with the given construct.

F

Field of Origin
The field of study in which the TMF originated.

G

J

K

L

M

Measure
Tool used in evaluation of a D&I project. [D&I GEM is currently unavailable and we are working to problem solve a new way to link to assessments/measures.]

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

N

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

Number of Times Cited
The # of times the original publication for the TMF was cited as indicated by Google Scholar since 2016.

O

P

Practitioner
The TMF is intended to be used by practitioners.

Q

R

Researcher
The TMF is intended to be used by researchers.

S

Socio-Ecological Levels
The level of the framework at which the TMF operates. Individual includes personal characteristics; Organization includes hospitals, service organizations, and factories; Community includes local government and neighborhoods; System includes hospital systems and government; Policy includes changes in policy.

T

TMF
Theories, Models, and Frameworks

U

User Ratings
These are ratings given by users of the tool.

D and or I
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.

Socio-Ecological Levels
The level of the framework at which the model operates. Individual includes personal characteristics; Organization includes hospitals, service organizations, and factories; Community includes local government and neighborhoods; System includes hospital systems and government; Policy includes changes in policy.
