Summary Tackling numerous topics that have been neglected in traditional randomized trial handbooks, methodology texts, and books on dissemination and implementation science, the book addresses:ways to develop and advance an intervention, emerging hybrid trial designs -theories and new models for integrating behavioral interventions with implementation science -- recruitment and retention strategies for inclusion of diverse samples - research designs for different stages of intervention development - treatment fidelity models and measures -novel measurement and analytic strategies - cost analyses - selection of control groups - use of mixed methodology - ethics and informed consent - technology-based intervention approaches . professional considerations. Abundant case examples from successful behavioral intervention trials.both national and international--illustrate key concepts
