Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Studies in Practice: What We’ve Learned and Where We’re Going

Effectiveness-implementation hybrid studies have become an important strategy for accelerating the translation of research into practice by examining intervention effectiveness and implementation within the same project. In this session, Drs. Gloria Coronado and Geoffrey Curran will reflect on how hybrid studies have evolved and what we have learned from their application, including experiences from cancer screening trials. The conversation will explore practical considerations in using hybrid studies, lessons from the field, and opportunities for improving rigor and reproducibility.
