Rollout trial designs in implementation research are often necessary and sometimes preferred
Stepped wedge and other rollout trial designs may be well suited to evaluation of implementation strategies or policy changes. In implementation trials, rollout designs may be necessary for practical reasons, may be required for ethical reasons, and may be preferred for scientific reasons. We summarize when such rollout designs have advantages and drawbacks.
