Implementation Science Workshop

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 (afternoon session)

Time Lecture Topic Duration Speaker
01:00-02:00 pm Introduction to Implementation Science and discussion of an
example (e.g., HPV self-testing in maquiladoras)
1 hour Maria Fernandez
02:00-02:30 pm Implementation Science Research: Questions and Outcomes 30 min Lara Savas
02:30-03:30 pm Theories, Models and Frameworks in Implementation Science 1 hour Jessica Islam
03:30-04:00 pm Participatory Methods 30 min Lara Savas
04:00-04:45 pm Group work activity (4-5 people in each group)
Each group will be given an article and asked to discuss
how the framework cited in the article informed the study
design and fostered participatory processes. This activity
will allow exposure to multiple frameworks and an
opportunity to think critically about how different
frameworks are useful for different questions.
45 min Facilitated by
Jessica Islam
04:45-05:00 pm Share summary of the discussion 15 min
05:00-05:30 pm Short Talks
Each presenter will be asked to specify the following elements: research question, how they applied theory and frameworks, and participatory processes in their research.

Time Lecture Topic Duration Speaker
08:30-10:00 am Designing and tailoring implementation strategies: Introduction to
Implementation Mapping
1,5 hour Maria Fernandez
10:00-10:30 am Group work activity (4-5 people in each group)
Think about an HPV issue/problem in your context as a

implementation mapping, such as implementation
performance objectives and determinants (i.e., who needs
to do what, and what is the thing)
