Minimal progress toward sustainment: 10-year replication of substance use EBP sustainment trajectories and associations with implementation characteristics
Our findings suggest that work over the past decade promoting sustainment of EBPs for youth substance use may not have produced measurable impacts. Future work needs to better incorporate growing knowledge on sustainment predictors into development and testing of robust, multilevel implementation strategies and system-level supports. This study also provides a useful illustration of a replication study in implementation science, which are important but rare.
