Implementation science is a relatively new discipline and only recently have researchers begun to elucidate the unique ethical considerations of conducting implementation research. In this presentation, we will describe the advent of the implementation science discipline, key ethical considerations for this work, and proposed theoretical frameworks for conducting ethical implementation research. Finally, using mental health implementation research as an example, we will describe several ethical challenges we have faced in our work and engage in discussion about these issues.
