Abstract: Hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies contribute to accelerating the translation of evidence 17 into practice, for the benefit of safer and better healthcare services. Such studies examine the 18 effectiveness of an innovation alongside its implementation. Since their codification in 2012 by 19 Curran and colleagues, hybrid studies have become increasingly prevalent in implementation 20 research. 21The growing collection of hybrid studies is bringing to light various combinations of data sources 22 and research methods that the studies comprise. Reports of these studies demonstrate both the 23 flexibility with which study teams have approached co-examining effectiveness and implementation, 24 as well as the need for further guidance on making design decisions for hybrid studies. 25This article provides an overview of hybrid effectiveness-implementation studies, their importance 26 for implementation science across various healthcare contexts, and their applications to date.
