PY - 2015 DA - 2015/01/08 TI - The Society for Implementation Research Collaboration Instrument Review Project: A methodology to promote rigorous evaluation JO - Implementation Science SP - 2 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - Identification of psychometrically strong instruments for the field of implementation science is a high priority underscored in a recent National Institutes of Health working meeting (October 2013). Existing instrument reviews are limited in scope, methods, and findings. The Society for Implementation Research Collaboration Instrument Review Project’s objectives address these limitations by identifying and applying a unique methodology to conduct a systematic and comprehensive review of quantitative instruments assessing constructs delineated in two of the field’s most widely used frameworks, adopt a systematic search process (using standard search strings), and engage an international team of experts to assess the full range of psychometric criteria (reliability, construct and criterion validity). Although this work focuses on implementation of psychosocial interventions in mental health and health-care settings, the methodology and results will likely be useful across a broad spectrum of settings. This effort has culminated in a centralized online open-access repository of instruments depicting graphical head-to-head comparisons of their psychometric properties. This article describes the methodology and preliminary outcomes. SN - 1748-5908 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s13012-014-0193-x DO - 10.1186/s13012-014-0193-x ID - Lewis2015 ER -
