Current and expanded hybrid typologies for implementation research. Gray shading represents study types where the assessment of implementation strategies is a primary or secondary aim. Gray text indicates study types that are currently under- or unspecified. Individual types of three-variable hybrids have been excluded for simplicity. *Curran et al. (1) specify that Hybrid Type 1 studies have a primary aim of testing intervention effectiveness and a secondary aim of gathering information on implementation (e.g., reporting implementation outcomes like feasibility and sustainability) or better understanding the context of implementation (e.g., identifying barriers and facilitators) (9). Therefore, we argue that some Type 1 studies mix the independent variables of intervention and implementation strategy (I/is), while others mix the independent variables of intervention and context (I/c).
