An Introductory Guide to Implementation, by Katie Burke, Kate Morris, and Leona McGarrigle, provides a framework and concept associated with policy and program implementation for various audiences, from policymakers to researchers to many others. The tool includes the specific stages taken, evidence-based information, barriers, and historical context when it comes to implementation. The broad-sectored nature of implementation makes this tool relevant and practical for programmatic, policy, and other implementation forms.

Organizations can use this tool to understand the steps involved in implementing a particular program, intervention, or initiative using a structured approach. In addition, it can be used to train staff or community members who will be involved in implementing a program or intervention.
