However, given the recency of attention to implementation science, numerous conceptual and methodological issues must be addressed for this area to fulfill its promise. The five papers comprising this issue are intended to move implementation science forward by presenting an overarching implementation conceptual model clearly linked to implementation stages, identifying measurement and design challenges based on aspects of the model and offering suggestions for addressing these challenges. …
