“…However, successful translation from research findings to routine clinical practice requires careful consideration of implementation science principles, workflow integration, training requirements and healthcare system readiness [ 28 , 29 , 71 , 72 , 73 ].…”

Attachment to Conventional Institutions and Adolescent Rapid Repeat Pregnancy: A Longitudinal National Study Among Adolescents in the United States
