This paper reviews and synthesizes models used in dissemination and implementation (D&I) research, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions. The review identifies 61 models, categorized by construct flexibility, focus on dissemination and/or implementation activities (D/I), and the socio-ecological framework (SEF) level. Models are described and examples of their application are provided to assist researchers in selecting and utilizing them. The authors emphasize the importance of using models to guide D&I studies, noting that existing models can enhance the likelihood of successful implementation and contribute to the literature. They also discuss the process of selecting and adapting models, the measurement of constructs, and the need for consistent terminology and measures in D&I research. The findings aim to support researchers in their efforts to bridge the gap between research and practice by effectively disseminating and implementing evidence-based interventions.This paper reviews and synthesizes models used in dissemination and implementation (D&I) research, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions.
