Replicating dissemination and identifying mechanisms of implementation of an empirically supported treatment.
Objective: Implementation research is needed in cancer control. Replication of the dissemination of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) is important as is the identification of mechanisms by which dissemination leads to implementation.
