Method evidence record

RE-AIM Framework

The RE-AIM framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) is a five-dimension evaluation tool designed to assess the public health impact of evidence-based interventions in real-world settings. Developed by Glasgow et al. (1999) to address the gap between efficacy trials (controlled conditions) and effectiveness in practice, RE-AIM provides a comprehensive set of metrics to determine whether an intervention is 'worth it' from both scientific and practical perspectives. It has become the standard framework for evaluating implementation success across health domains.
