Abstract

We provided a synthesis of use, summarized key issues in applying, and highlighted exemplary applications in the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. We articulated key RE-AIM criteria by reviewing the published literature from 1999 to 2010 in several databases to describe the application and reporting on various RE-AIM dimensions. After excluding nonempirical articles, case studies, and commentaries, 71 articles were identified. The most frequent publications were on physical activity, obesity, and disease management. Four articles reported solely on 1 dimension compared with 44 articles that reported on all 5 dimensions of the framework. RE-AIM was broadly applied, but several criteria were not reported consistently.

  • Literature reviews on applications of popular implementation frameworks such as RE-AIM and CFIR have enabled their advancement in implementation science.

    “Literature reviews on the applications of popular implementation frameworks, such as the RE-AIM and the CFIR, have enabled their advancement in implementation science.”

    From The NASSS (Non-Adoption, Abandonment, Scale-Up, Spread and Sustainability) framework use over time: A scoping review (2025) · cites this paper as [14]

    The Methods and Discussion describe a literature review of RE-AIM applications that identifies problems and offers guidance for future use (page not provided). The paper does not address CFIR, and its stated aim to guide future applications does not establish that the review has already advanced either framework. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • These reviews have described and assessed the application of RE-AIM, enabling its advancement (e.g., enhanced RE-AIM/PRISM 2019) and novel applications, such as combining RE-AIM with PRECIS.

    “These reviews have described and assessed the application of the RE-AIM, enabling its advancement (e.g., the enhanced RE-AIM/Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) 2019) and novel applications, such as combining the RE-AIM with the Pragmatic Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary (PRECIS) model [14,15].”

    From The NASSS (Non-Adoption, Abandonment, Scale-Up, Spread and Sustainability) framework use over time: A scoping review (2025) · cites this paper as [14]

    The Abstract states that this review describes and assesses how RE-AIM was applied over time, and the Discussion says it aims to show the framework’s evolution and guide future use (page numbers unavailable). The paper does not address the 2019 RE-AIM/PRISM enhancement or combining RE-AIM with PRECIS, so it cannot establish those specific developments or that this review enabled them. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Applications of popular implementation theories, models, and frameworks such as RE-AIM and CFIR have been well documented in the literature.

    “The applications of popular implementation theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs), such as the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), have been well documented in the literature.”

    From The NASSS (Non-Adoption, Abandonment, Scale-Up, Spread and Sustainability) framework use over time: A scoping review (2025) · cites this paper as [14]

    The Abstract reports a systematic review of 71 articles applying RE-AIM, supporting the claim that its applications are documented. The paper does not document applications of CFIR; its References list a paper introducing that framework, but not a review of its use. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Several literature reviews have been written on RE-AIM since its inception in 1999.

    “For example, several literature reviews have been written on the RE-AIM since its inception in 1999 [14,15].”
  • According to the RE-AIM evaluation, during this pilot process evaluation, the pathway presented a moderate reach, with moderate to high acceptance rates.

    “According to the RE-AIM evaluation,21 during this pilot process evaluation, our pathway presented a moderate reach, with moderate to high acceptance rates.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
